BCEL/Pine River PTO
Little Caesars Pizza kit kickoff! Goal: 2000+ kits sold. We haven't sold this amount since pre-Covid. Upping the game: if we hit goal, all those BCEL/Pine River students who sell 15+ pizza kits by the evening of 10/6, will get to slime Ms. Traci Lewis Wells
Oh ya...Let's do this!
*All kits are shipped from factory, no hand delivering, so sell away near and far!

Happy birthday to our Mr. Schweigert!!!! We 🖤🖤💛💛 you!

Our PTO is the best!!! Thank you for all the "sunshine" you spread this morning with your treat cart!!!!


BCEL Families,
I sent out a text message last week asking for pick up parents to please leave driveways on Miller rd. clear so that those residents who are trying to get out are able to. The problem continued today leading to a frustrated homeowner trying to leave her driveway.
Please, help out our Miller rd. neighbors by not blocking their driveways when you are waiting for pick up at the end of the day.
We appreciate your help keeping the driveways open.
Mr. Hale and Deputy Brandt are aware of the situation and are involved in finding a solution.
Thank you for your cooperation

Mrs. Chappel's 1st grader scientists learned about texture in nature with this fabulous sorting activity today!
Great job little observers! What great finds!

Thank you to our BCEL families for their hard work cleaning and freshening up our nature areas. We enjoyed the laughs and conversation while we took care of our school.




Miss Allie from Chippewa Nature Center surprised us with an end of the day visit with a Western Fox Snake! Thank you Ms. Allie!



2nd grade students from BCEL visited Floyd Elementary today to explore the pond, woods, and vernal pools. The students demonstrated such flexibility when thunder moved us inside. With Mrs. Clarks guidance the 2nd grade students from each building met and got to know each other through some fun activities.




Ms. Heiders young fives continue their ABC countdown w Hh is for Hawaian day! Ms. Heider turned her classroom into a big giant "pool" to beat the heat!!



BCEL''s 1st grade students had a wonderful day at the CNC despite the weather! Our nature explores learned to adapt as they moved lessons inside. We love going to the CNC no matter the weather!



The kids at BCEL were treated to a building wide snow cone party this afternoon from our PTO for meeting our Color Run fundraising goal!! Way to go kids and families! It was the perfect treat on this beautiful afternoon!!



In addition to our typical nature times, some of our teachers across the district have been utilizing our nature spaces for literacy and math instruction. Pictures featured here are from Ms. Heider’s Y5’s class, Miss Pretzer’s Kindergarten class and Mrs. Korson’s 3rd grade class.




Grace Stern has been working with Mrs.Pretzer this year for the work-based learning portion of her Educational Careers class at Bullock Creek High School. Throughout this time, she has supported the behind the scenes portions of our nature program as well as worked directly with a variety of teachers and students. Last week, she planned a lesson for Ms. Pretzer’s kindergarten class that involved her peers.



Today is "Lunch Lady" appreciation day!! We absolutely love our lunch lady, Ms. Kendra!!! Ms. Kendra brings all the fun to our building: dance parties, lunch room activities, fun decorations through the lunch line
Ms. Kendra loves our little Lancers is such a special and unique way. She is always there with ice for scraps, bumps and bruises, snacks for those who need them, and a hug for anyone who will stand still.
Her love for us and our kids is second to none!
Thank you Ms. Kendra for all you do for us!! You make BCEL a better place!!!
