Before the first bell rings, students are welcomed into school, put their belongings away, and sit and talk with a friend or sit and read a book. All students sit by their locker quietly reading until the bell rings. Each morning begins the “brain smart” way with classical music beginning with the first bell. The music plays quietly for five minutes as students enter their classrooms. Each class then turns on the WBEE News broadcast on our school-wide telecast. The WBEE news begins with the Pledge of Allegiance, a school-wide stretch to prepare everyone in school for a day of learning followed by the brain tip of the day to help students and staff begin with their brain energized and focused for the school day.
