3rd-5th grade students have been learning about supporting others at school and being a good friend during classroom guidance lessons and the BEE the Friend Program. Their teachers noticed a few students who have been demonstrating kindness and friendship towards others, and we have recognized these students with a "Reward Bee" and a prize! Great job EKB students!
Some of this month's guidance lessons!
2nd grade read "But It's Just A Game!" and discussed having a "life" controller that will help us make good decisions and put family, friends, and school before video games!
3rd grade read "A Flicker of Hope" as part of our BEE the Friend Curriculum and did an activity to learn how to "share the light" with others.
1st grade read "The Worry Monsters" and made their very own coping skills monster to use when they are anxious/afraid!
Our School Counseling Newsletter for November!
Youth Leadership Day was a huge success! EKB was represented very well by Sheila Rodriguez (7th) and Ayden Brewer (8th). Two of our former 8th graders, Kaylen Leekley and Madiln Lynn, also represented MCHS. Students visited college classrooms, received a campus tour, and enjoyed lunch in the Cafeteria. We are grateful for the efforts and dedication from McMinn County Education Foundation and TWU to instill values and qualities in our students that will help them become successful. We are proud of all our Baker Youth Leaders!
5th Grade has been celebrating their rainforest module with making terrariums! Our students have been very creative in this project!

Career on Wheels update! Due to weather conditions, we will be postponing our Career on Wheels event to next Friday, October 4th from 8:45-10:45. We feel having the event outside as planned with all of our volunteers will be the most beneficial and impactful method of teaching students about prospective careers as well as the most enjoyable way to have the event.
We are all smiles here at EKB for picture day! 📸😄
