Our BCEL staff kicked off the morning by focusing on what matters most: connecting with our students!

At our staff meeting we spent time celebrating all of the amazing things happening across our building, remembering that true school success always starts with strong relationships and support from every adult in our school community. That "good stuff" begins with connection!

We are so grateful for our incredible change-makers here at BCEL and the difference they make every single day to our students, families, and each other! 💛🖤

Our Little Lancers had some very special guests this morning!

Students from the High School Career Education class visited BCEL to read and share books with our classrooms. Our little ones look up to their "big friends" so much, and seeing the connections between our high schoolers and youngest learners makes days like today so special.

We love having our high school students visit! Thank you for being such wonderful role models for our Little Lancers!

🍂🎃 A HUGE thank you to the Breasbois family! 🎃🍂

Our hearts are so full of gratitude for their thoughtfulness in decorating our school entrances for fall! The beautiful pumpkins and gourds bring such a warm, welcoming touch to our doors and make our Little Lancer home feel even more special! 🍁🧡

Mrs. Bredt may not have been able to start this school year right alongside us, but that hasn’t stopped her from being one of our biggest cheerleaders, strongest supporters, and greatest sources of encouragement.

Mrs. Bredt truly is the heart of BCEL. She loves her students fiercely, supports her staff endlessly, and pours so much of herself into our Little Lancer family. We are incredibly blessed to have a leader who not only leads us, but genuinely loves, believes in, and cares for the people in her building.

We miss her more than words can say, and our entire Little Lancer family cannot wait for the day she walks back through those doors! Until then, we hope she knows just how loved, appreciated, and missed she is.

Happy Principals Month, Mrs. Bredt! We love you and can’t wait to have you back home at BCEL! 💛🖤🏫

🎉 BIG NEWS FROM THE BCEL MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS! 🎉

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!!!

🎓✨ Memories made today at BCEL! ✨🎓

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! 🖤💛

From storybooks to real life! BCEL's Nature K classes had a special visit from Deputy Joe Fillmore of the Sheriff’s office. After his daughter mentioned the Kinders were reading "Career Day," he dropped by to share a bit about his job and connect with our students. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our community, Deputy Fillmore!

Up, Up, and Away with RE/MAX!
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!

"And together, they built a school that they loved." ❤️

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!

The Great BCEL Hatch is underway!

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!

A huge shoutout to the amazing Mrs. Pretzer for sharing her time and expertise with us today! 🍁

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! 🥞✨

We had a very special guest at BCEL today! Our amazing Superintendent, Mr. Hale, stopped by to see all the incredible work our Little Lancers are doing.

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.
