This past Friday, Belwood's fifth grade Leadership Team had a special treat when Mr. Ish Lewis came to present an interactive and practical lesson on public speaking. Mr. Lewis started by telling the students that most people are actually scared of public speaking, but with Practice and Feedback, everyone has the opportunity to go from being afraid of it to being really good at it. Mr. Lewis stated that, "Practice makes Progress" and also told the students that Feedback is always a gift! After partner and small group speaking, students were given the opportunity to speak for one minute in front of their peers, with no prep time. The volunteers showed courage and initiative, and all students did a great job on giving and receiving feedback. Thank you Mr. Lewis for giving up your valuable time to invest in our current and future leaders! #TogetherGCS #TogetherBES #TogetherWeGrowLeaders

Field Day will be here soon! Mark your calendar's for Friday, May 9th! Parents may start arriving at 8:30 am. Please check in with the front office and have your ID with you, You must have a visitor's sticker.
