Former Bessie Weller Principal, James Kivlighan, visited Bessie Weller to speak to 4th grade students in Ms. Nicole Barbano's class about the history of Bessie Weller for a project they are working on. They are writing articles for a class magazine about life at Bessie Weller on topics ranging from teachers and student life to ghost stories and Caught Bee-ing Good.
The kids were so excited to meet the former principal of Bessie Weller, who was principal for 33 years, and to meet the man who our gym is named after. He shared some great stories and talked with the kids about the importance of school and a good education.

Under his supervision students will watch eggs hatch and monitor their growth. They will observe physical and behaviorial development as the fish evolve into fry and fingerlings.They will also be responsible for feeding the fish and testing the water and maintaining their environment. This program is from Trout Unlimited. In the spring, with the cooperation of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, students will release the trout in a nearby stream and perform on site water quality and macroinvertebrate tests.
