Bee Keeper's Update from Dr. Balsbaugh

Dear Families,

As we move into this season of thankfulness, I can’t help but picture our school community as a vibrant, joyful circus tent—full of energy, wonder, teamwork, and heart. In The Greatest Showman, the magic doesn’t come from the lights or the music—it comes from the people who join together to create something extraordinary. That’s exactly how I feel about our families, our staff, and our learners. Together, you help make our school “the greatest show” each and every day.

Thank you for the countless ways—both big and small—you support our students and staff. Whether it’s encouraging your child each morning, volunteering, offering a kind word, attending events, or simply being our partners in learning, your efforts lift our entire community. You help create the safe, supportive, and inspiring environment where our learners can shine.

As we move through this season of gratitude, I invite each family to take a moment under your own “big top” to celebrate what you’re grateful for. Maybe it’s a shared meal, a quick conversation in the car, or a few minutes before bedtime—whatever it looks like, those simple reflections can spark joy, connection, and appreciation.

Thank you for being part of our amazing show. Because of you, our students don’t just learn—they soar.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr. B. 🎩✨
