🔍👕👟 Attention BES Families! 👟👕🔍
🔍 Have you checked out our Lost and Found collection lately? 🔍
We've updated our album with pictures of items found around the school premises. 📸 From jackets to glasses, and everything in between, you might just spot something that belongs to your child!
🚨 But here's a gentle reminder: 🚨
We want to reunite every lost item with its rightful owner, so, we kindly ask that you only select items you genuinely believe belong to your child. Let's make sure every item finds its way back home!
So, take a peek at the album, and if you recognize something, let us know!
