You are so incredibly loved and missed at BCEL, and we hope you feel just how many people are thinking of you and sending you love today.

BCEL wants to give a massive shoutout to our amazingly talented parent artist, Jodi S., for lending us her incredible talent! She created a beautiful, vibrant mural right outside our student doors. This creative mural will bring so many smiles to our students as they enter school each day!
We can already imagine all the wonderful back-to-school pictures that will be taken in front of this amazing wall!
Thank you, Jodi—you absolutely nailed this project!

We had a very special guest join our favorite 2nd-grade BCEL sports reporter, Luca P, for the final sports report of the 25/26 school year! 🎙️✨
A huge thank you to Brad from 100.9 The Mitt (the radio voice of the Loons! ⚾) for joining Luca this morning and making it an unforgettable broadcast.
Luca has kept me up-to-date all year long on scores, games, trades, and all things sports. I would then pass along his sports reports on through the morning announcements. I have absolutely loved connecting with Luca over his knowledge of all things sports!! Thank you, Luca for sharing all of your sports knowledge with me and trusting me to pass them along accurately.
Way to go, Luca, for being brave and joining me this morning! And thank you, Brad, from the Mitt, for supporting our rising sports reporter!!!

Our hallways were filled with pure magic today as the incredible Class of 2026 returned to where it all began for their Senior Walkthrough!
Seeing our graduates shining in their caps and gowns brought so much joy to our school. Our little Lancers were absolutely starstruck and looked up at these "big kids" with so much admiration and excitement. It was a beautiful reminder of where hard work and big dreams can take you. 🌟
To the Class of 2026: Thank you for inspiring our youngest students today. We have loved watching you grow, we congratulate you on this milestone, and we wish you the absolute best in your next chapter! 🖤💛








We had a fun start to our morning at Bullock Creek Elementary! A massive thank you to our local RE/MAX team for bringing such a high-energy, exciting, and educational program to BCEL.
Our students (and staff!) were mesmerized from start to finish. We learned so much during the informative presentation, but the real magic happened when the balloon began to inflate.....
Highlights of the morning included:
Watching that enormous balloon come to life right in our own gym!
We managed to fit all 330 students inside the balloon! And had so much more room left over!!
We loved the powerful sound and the warmth radiating from the burner outside as the pilot showed us how the burner worked.
Our very own Mrs. Bredt even got the chance to pull the fire and blast the burner!
We are so grateful to RE/MAX for providing this unforgettable hands-on experience for our Creekers. It was truly a morning full of wonder and inflated joy!










To wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to give a massive shout-out to our entire BCEL team. Because at our school, "teacher" isn't just a job title—it’s a mission shared by everyone!
From the classroom to the kitchen, and the nature trails to the bus loop—our BCEL spirit is everywhere. You’ll find it in the speech room, at our literacy tables, and even scooting through the hallways! Whether it’s our behavior specialists, special education crew, and social workers, or our amazing custodians, cafeteria team, and maintenance legends, every single person here is 'all-in' for our kids. As you can see, we take our jobs seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously! And boy does that make work so much fun!! I am so thankful to come to work with these people each and every day!! They really show up and show out for our students -- for that I am eternally grateful!!
As you can see from these photos, we don't just work hard—we have a blast doing it!
Thank you to our incredible staff for making BCEL a place where everyone belongs!









There’s nothing like the "egg-citement" of watching life begin right in our classrooms. Our students have been busy observing, documenting, and cheering on our newest feathered friends as they hatch.
From incubation to the first chirps, it’s been an amazing lesson in biology, patience, and the beauty of nature. Life is definitely in abundance here at Bullock Creek Elementary!





Happy Administrative Assistant Day, Chelsea Cronkright from your BCEL family!
Thank you for everything you do to keep our school running smoothly each and every day. From the big things to all the small, often unnoticed details—you are the steady force that keeps everything moving forward.
Your kindness, organization, and willingness to jump in wherever needed truly make a difference for our staff, students, and families. Our school is a better place because of you, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

Our students got a front-row seat to the magic of nature as they learned how to transform raw tree sap into delicious maple syrup. We explored the science of evaporation and were amazed to see just how much sap it takes to produce even a small amount of syrup!
We are so grateful for all the hard work Mrs. Pretzer put into boiling the sap so our students could experience this process firsthand. Thank you for making science so sweet! 🥞✨



Mr. Hale was blown away by all of our hard work and creativity! From the curious questions and the endless high fives to showing off just how much fun we have learning every day, our students loved visiting with Mr, Hale.
There’s nothing we love more than bragging about our school spirit! Thank you so much, Mr. Hale, for taking the time to visit, listen, and celebrate with us.


Each week, these amazing volunteers give up time in their busy days to come to our school and share the joy of reading with our students. It’s about more than just books—it’s about the connections made and the smiles shared.
We feel so lucky to be part of a community that cares so deeply about our kids. Thank you, Costco, for reading to us, caring about us, and investing your time in our future!
