Each May, Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM) provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role of American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) members in providing life-altering treatment.
BEC is thankful to have a great team of educators and speech language pathologist (SLP) at our school to help our students with better speech and hearing. We are proud to have Jamie Jenkins, Deaf Education K-12, Paige Brown, Speech Assistant, Allison Raper, Lead SLP and Haylynn Moore, SLP.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the best teachers and staff at BEC! Thank you for all that you do for our students.

Today we read "The Technology Tail" by Julia Cook. We learned how important it is to THINK before we post: Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? We took it a step further and said to incorporate that into our speech☺️~Mrs. Eden

As parents, we are all raising our children in a digital world that may look different from our own childhoods. Regularly talking with our children about their online world is one of the most important things we can do. BEC teachers and staff have been reading books this week about social media. You can also find free resourses to help at home by clicking the link below for parents. Here you will find videos, thoughts, and other resources curated by thoughtful parents so that we can become better at talking SMAC with our kids. (SMAC Social Media Awareness Campain)

My class really enjoyed this book and learned that too much screen time can take away from experiencing so many things that are going on around us! 😁
