Bessey Creek Elementary

We are so proud of our 4th and 5th grade students who have already earned their CAPE/UCertify industry certification on their very first attempt! 👏💻 These certifications represent real-world skills, perseverance, and a commitment to learning beyond the classroom. Students have multiple opportunities to earn their certification, and these Gators showed focus, determination, and confidence by rising to the challenge right away. We look forward to celebrating even more students as additional certification opportunities continue this spring. Keep reaching high—we are cheering you on every step of the way! 🌟 #BCEGators #LearningInAction #UnstoppableTogether #CTEMonth
