It was a Happy Twosday (2/22/22) in Mrs. Brammer’s Fourth Grade ELA/Social Studies Classes! The students marked this historic date by predicting what their lives would look like at age 22, working with the homophones "to", "too", and "two", learning about the prefix "bi", brainstorming famous food pairs like "burgers and fries", and playing tic-tac-toe in pairs. An extra bonus was chewing "Double Bubble" bubble gum as they participated in the activities!
Liberty - Mrs. Rozak's ELA classes had the honor of having a Q and A session with author and speaker, Mr. Ron Kirkwood ( from York, Pennsylvania) today. His book, Too Much for Human Endurance, is a detailed and well-researched study of The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the role this location played in the outcome of the Civil War. Mr. Kirkwood is always impressed with what our students bring to the discussion and is a big fan of our current ELA unit, America in Conflict. We thank him for visiting our Liberty students again this year!
BESD Families,
Due to the inclement weather, BESD53 schools will be closed with a Snow Day on Friday, February 18th. Our District E-Learning Plan only allows for one consecutive day of E-Learning, so tomorrow will be a Snow Day. Thank you!
BESD Families,
For safety precautions, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day on Thursday, February 17th. With the continued threat and timing of the winter storm warning, all schools will be closed tomorrow but students will continue their learning at home in accordance with our District E-Learning Plan. Again, BESD53 will utilize an E-Learning day tomorrow, February 17th. Thank you!

Dear BESD #53 Families and Staff,
We are aware that there have been recent court cases and verdicts regarding face masking, exclusions, and other related topics. These verdicts have clearly impacted about 145 School Districts across the state in the past 48 hours. BESD #53 was not listed in these cases. BESD #53 already had a scheduled Special Board Meeting for Tuesday at 7:00 pm for possible School Board Action on Masking. Many of the concerns presented in the new rulings will be considered on Tuesday night by the Board of Education.
Sincerely,
Dr. Adam Ehrman
Superintendent, Bourbonnais Elementary School District #53
