Behold the NEW Byron Elementary School Logo! We hope you like it. Things are certainly busy around here and you will see many changes... the logo is just the beginning. We can't wait to see your students' smiling faces back here at BES!

Thank You! Byron Elementary students, families, volunteers, faculty and staff, families, and friends... WE DID IT! We met and EXCEEDED our Book Fair goal! Way to go guys!

Byron Elementary’s Media Center is Having a Box Drive! We are undergoing some big changes and our library will need to be packed up for the summer. To do this, we will need BOXES! We would love it if you would send us your boxes (especially Amazon boxes or meal delivery service boxes). Boxes that would be “liftable” once packed with a book series. Boxes may be brought in through the front entrance. THANK YOU for all that you do for BES!

And so it begins! The BOOK FAIR has arrived! Get ready for fun and fabulousness at Byron Elementary the week of May 8-12! Check the Book Fair website for more info and to fill your wallet: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/byronelementaryschool

BES Students came back from Spring Break and noticed a few new art pieces around the building. Our graffiti artist from the first annual BES Arts Day left us with two fantastic canvases to display. Mrs. Windham had a friend donate a 3D rendering of Black Beauty... made from the pages of the novel!

From incubation to baby chicks, our Byron Eagles have proven to be great poultry providers and bird baby-sitters!

Our second graders have studied about life cycles. Our PTO was generous enough to provide them with butterfly larvae so that they might have a more hands-on experience! Our Eagles followed the experience with much excitement! Thank you PTO for being so amazing!

Our Eagles expressed their appreciation to our hard working Board of Education members with a well-deserved luncheon. As you can see, all were happy! Thank you Peach County Board of Education for always putting our children FIRST!
