Letter of the day
The 5th Grade Class enjoyed their spring class trip to The Raptor Trust in Millington, New Jersey. This facility is dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild birds and environmental education. They provided free medical care to all species of wild birds, as well as a variety of educational programs. The facility consists of a Medical Infirmary, an Education Center, a Gift Shop, and over 70 exterior cages and aviaries. These structures provide over 130,000 cubic feet of space, designed to accommodate both recuperating birds awaiting release and the unreleasable individuals who call our facility home permanently. The students enjoyed a presentation entitled "Migration Madness", and then we toured the facility. We then enjoyed a picnic lunch as a grade level.
Principal Appreciation Day
This past Friday, May 1st, was Principal Appreciation Day. While we are recognizing this special day a bit late, we want to express how much we appreciate Mrs. Silvestri. Our principal works hard every day to make our school a great place to learn, grow, and succeed. Let’s show our appreciation to Mrs. Silvestri by being kind, making great choices, and saying “thank you” when we see her today. The Student C&C provided a token of our appreciation on behalf of BES. Happy Principal Appreciation Day!

National School Nurse Appreciation Day - Wednesday, May 6, 2026
Today we celebrate National School Nurse Appreciation Day, a special opportunity to recognize the compassionate and dedicated individuals who care for the health and well-being of our students each day. Their knowledge, patience, and kindness make a lasting difference in the lives of students, staff, and families.
Please join the Student Climate and Culture by thanking our full time school nurse, Mrs. Roof the Rockstar, and our part time nurses Mrs. Leigner and Mrs. Grossman. The Student C&C provided gifts for them to show our appreciation for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to keeping our school community healthy. We truly appreciate all that you do!

During the week of April 20th, BES Climate and Culture students, along with Mrs. Pelosi's class and Mrs. Warnkin (a retired BES teacher), collected new or gently used children’s books. These books will be donated to the Bridges of Books Foundation.
The Bridges of Books Foundation is a nonprofit, volunteer-led organization whose mission is to provide an ongoing source of books to underserved children across New Jersey. Their work supports the development of literacy skills and encourages a lifelong love of reading.
Our student Climate and Culture Committee and Mrs. Warnkin were responsible for collecting the books, while Mrs. Pelosi's class organized, counted, and boxed them. All involved then carried the boxes to the van, and Mr. and Mrs. Warnkin delivered them to the Bridges of Books Foundation. We collected 1,760 books!!!
We thank our wonderful community for donating to this service project and for supporting children’s literacy! A special thank you to Mrs. Pelosi's Rock-Star class for all the work they put into this.
ALL CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE BOOKS TO CALL THEIR OWN.

North Warren Youth Softball presents Spring Fling for 5th & 6th Grades
In honor of yesterday’s Earth Day, members of the Student Climate and Culture Committee partnered with our Custodial Staff to help care for our school environment. Some students took charge inside, emptying garbage and recycling cans, sweeping, and wiping desks in the 5th & 6th grade classes. Meanwhile, others worked outdoors, weeding around the front, side, and back of the school grounds, while picking up litter as well. Everyone did a terrific job and their efforts truly made a difference. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated and put our school's needs first. Your dedication and teamwork are appreciated!
