Don't mind the noise--it's just the middle grades battling it out in the first annual REINDEER GAMES! Our 6th graders traveled to the Lawton gym for a morning of Christmas competitions and some *very* loud cheering. The points were close, but in the end 8th grade class came out the winners! They will celebrate with a pizza party when they return from break. Way to go, Belpre Middle Schoolers and teachers!
Last night we celebrated the retirement of Tim Snider and Mitch Freels, who for a combined 55 years of service, walked the halls of our schools in our district every day making sure our students had a safe space where they could learn and grow. Thank you and enjoy your retirement!
As we say goodbye to Mr. Leonard Wiggins, we value him as a caring parent as well as a strong supporter of Belpre City Schools. We have appreciated and are grateful for his insight, ideas, dedication and advocacy for Belpre City Schools during his eleven years on the board.
Many thanks to our senior student council members for supporting Belpre Holiday Lights by volunteering in the "Gingerbread House" donation booth!
