Buckingham County Elementary School

❄️ Winter Weather Meal Pickup – Care in Action ❄️ As we prepare for the incoming winter weather, Buckingham County Public Schools was proud to support our students and families by providing meals to ensure no child goes without during the storm. Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our cafeteria staff, maintenance team, grounds team, central office staff, and other dedicated school employees, more than 400 students received meals; prepared, packed, and delivered with care. From early morning planning to lifting boxes, organizing bags, and making sure everything ran smoothly, this effort truly showcased what it means to be a school community that takes care of its own. 💚 We are grateful for the hard work, flexibility, and heart shown by our staff, and thankful for the opportunity to serve our students when it matters most. #EveryKnightEveryDay

At BES, 5th grade students are finishing up their light unit in Science. Today, they got to put what they have learned to use and conduct a light experiment. They tested multiple materials to discover if the material was opaque, translucent, or transparent. They then documented if the light reflected off of the material or if the material caused the light to refract! Way to go 5th grade! Keep being scientists! 🔦

Buckingham Elementary parents, please take a look at what's coming up in the next 2 weeks at our school!

📅 Reminder for Families

Today at BES, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students were handed a card and asked to finish the sentence "Something good that happened to me today was...". It's very easy to overlook the little things in life, but at BES the little things are what make us shine! 🤩
