Today we recognize Indigenous People's Day. The Burlington-Edison School District is on the traditional territory of the Samish Indian Nation, the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe. In addition to the Since Time Immemorial curriculum our students engage in to gain a better understanding of their sense of place in the traditional, native lands that we are on, we are increasing active partnerships with our local tribes through quarterly convenings with them and other local school districts. It is through these convenings that we learn about meaningful cultural celebrations and learning opportunities for our districts.

There is no school for students on Monday, October 9, 2023. Staff will be learning and collaborating together. Classes will resume on Tuesday. | No habrá clases para los estudiantes el lunes 9 de octubre de 2023. El personal aprenderá y colaborará juntos. Las clases se reanudarán el martes. #WeAreLearners #WeAreBE

Another wonderful #Homecoming parade through downtown Burlington! Special thanks to the City of Burlington and the Burlington Police Department for their assistance in helping to keep this parade an annual tradition. Go Tigers! #WeAreBE



B-ESD was fortunate to begin this school year with an insightful alumni panel (pictured), each who shared personal stories about their experiences as students within our school district. This week's #GratitudePost is for our amazing B-ESD alumni. Like this panel, B-ESD alumni continue to support our school district in a variety of ways including as employees, as district and community partners, as civic leaders, and as contributors to student scholarships. Join the Burlington-Edison Alumni Foundation (B-EAF) for their annual BBQ tailgate at B-EHS this Friday evening before the homecoming football game against Sedro-Woolley HS. All proceeds benefit student scholarships. #WeAreBE #WeAreAlumni

Bay View School's Life Skills classrooms received a visitor today as Superintendent Pearson dropped by to spend time learning alongside the students. Dr. Pearson participated in various activities, engaging in hands-on projects, singing songs, and supporting academic and social skill building. The visit provided an invaluable opportunity for Superintendent Pearson to gain firsthand insights into the unique challenges and accomplishments of these remarkable students. The experience also served as a testament to the incredible dedication of the staff members who work in our Life Skills Program. #WeAreBE



The B-EHS Latinx Student Union (LSU) presented at last night's School Board meeting. The students shared their club's commitment to bringing awareness to Latinx culture and celebrations across the school. This week's #GratitudePost is for the student clubs, club advisors and coaches that provide students meaningful and engaging co-curricular activities throughout the school year. Involvement in co-curricular activities is fun and enriching and can strengthen attendance and academic success. #WeAreBE


Last night, K-8 students involved in our HiCap program participated in a Silent Disco as a kickoff event for the year. About 80 people attended representing over 25 different families and all five B-ESD elementary schools. Students submitted song requests and the grouped danced silently away to songs like "Happy," "YMCA," and "Never Gonna Give You up." B-ESD HiCap Program provided snacks and glow sticks. Wearing the headphones makes entry into the dancing easier and everyone feels like they belong. What a fun event! #WeAreBE



This week's #GratitudePost is for our community partners. Organizations like Children of the Valley (pictured), Skagit Boys and Girls Club, Communities in Schools, and many other partners work to support our students even after the school day ends. We are so grateful for the support of our community partners! #WeAreBE
