Monthly Great Reads

Posted Date: 09/14/26 (02:15 PM)


A circular logo for "Mrs. Reid's Great Reads," featuring a blue-and-yellow color scheme, an open book, and stars.We have started a new tradition at BES called Mrs. Reid's Great Reads.  Each month, our principal, Mrs. Reid, will select one book connected to an idea that helps us grow--as learners, as friends, and as members of our school community.  Every PK-5 classroom will receive a copy of the book to keep and add to their classroom library.

September's Book:  When You Dream Big by Peter H. Reynolds

What better way to begin than with a story that reminds our students to imagine what might be possible?  

When You Dream Big reassures us that we don't have to have a specific job or title in mind to have a bright future.  Instead of focusing only on what we want to do, we can focus on who we want to be--kind, brave, curious, helpful, and positive human beings.  The story reminds us to keep an open mind and to keep moving forward, one step at a time.  

Books were delivered to classrooms today, and we look forward to our teachers and students enjoying them!

Happy Reading, Stars!
