Administration

Mrs. Beth Grim Jennings - Principal

It is a privilege to be the principal and serve our students and the entire BES community. I have been working in the educational field for 30 years, 25 of which have been for Roanoke County Schools. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Radford University. I earned my education specialist degree at Virginia Tech.

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Bruce, my daughter, Daylie, who is a Sophomore at William and Mary, and my son, Jake, who lives in Utah.  I  also enjoy traveling and visiting new and exciting places.

I am happiest when lively children and playful dogs surround me. Both of which help to keep me young at heart.

Mr. Wes Warner - Assistant Principal

I have been at Burlington for eight years now and cannot think of a better school to be at.  The staff and community support make BES a wonderful place to mold our children into happy and successful students.

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from Emory and Henry College and graduate degrees from Old Dominion University and Radford University.  Before coming to Burlington I served children as a special education teacher and behavior specialist for seventeen years.

I have a strong passion for elementary education.  Nowhere else can educators have such a tremendous and positive impact on the social, emotional and educational development of children.  Our goal of creating and maintaining a safe and nurturing school environment is the cornerstone of that development.

In my other life I am the proud father to my 25 year old son Cameron and my 130 pound Great Dane named Kitty.  I enjoy golfing, concert going, VT Football, and Duke Basketball.
