Mrs. Napoli and Mrs. Dopp's 2nd-grade students at BCEL have had a blast sledding this week! Being out in nature releasing some energy before persevering on their winter benchmark assessments! Research shows that when kids can get outside in their natural environment increases performance on structured tasks in the classroom.
Mrs. Napoli and Mrs. Dopp loved watching their students naturally live in the moment allowing the moment to be what it was; magical, silly, and adventurous!
Our very own superhero, Carter Schofield, has beaten cancer!!!!!! Ring that bell Carter!!! Your Bullock Creek family is so extremely excited for this journey to be over for you! This amazing boy has shown grit, strength, and perseverance!! Time to celebrate!!

This morning our BCEL students were treated to an amazing holiday concert by our high school Varsity band! We enjoyed all of the festive tunes, the sing-alongs, and listening to our very own Mrs. Griggs sing 'White Christmas'! We are so thankful to Mrs. Bossenberger, BC's band director, for arranging for us to come and enjoy some fun holiday songs!!
BCEL's kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade music classes put on amazing holiday concerts on Wednesday!! Mrs. Griggs worked so hard with our students to make things jolly and festive!! Thank you, Mrs. Griggs for all your hard work to put on these concerts!!
It was so nice to hear our Little Lancers sing to a gym full of adorning parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles!!!
Are you ready for some lights!? ⛄🌟🎄Tonight, Friday, Dec. 8, from 6-7:30 PM, the BC/PR PTO Stay in Your Sleigh Holiday Parade is set to dazzle and delight at BCEL! Buckle up for a reverse parade and a drive-through light experience. Keep your eyes peeled for some treats throughout the route – snag a free kids' hot chocolate coupon from the delightful Journeys Coffeehouse, and deck your home with some Creek swag courtesy of the fabulous Lakeside Creative Shop!
Here are a few key reminders to ensure you have a holly-jolly time:
- Navigate the sparkling path starting at the BC South Little League ball fields on Miller Rd. There is a slightly modified route this year; follow the traffic director, cones, and arrows to keep the holiday spirit flowing smoothly.
- Please be respectful of Miller Rd. residents trying to make their way in or out of their driveways.
- Embrace the anticipation of a 30+ minute drive-through experience – though with the holiday magic, time might just fly by!
- While the event is a gift to the community, feel free to spread the cheer by making donations. Contributions will be divvied up among various Bullock Creek nonprofit and school organizations, including BC/PR PTO, Journeys Coffeehouse, BC Girl Scouts, BCMS Student Council, and BlitzCreek Robotics.
So, fasten your seatbelts, bring your holiday spirit, and let's make this a night to remember! Be safe, be festive, and have a wonderful ride!

Mr. Hale popped in to BCEL today to see what we were up to. We love our visits from our Superintendent!!! Mr. Hale heard all about gratitude from Mrs. Duhoski's 2nd graders and all about what Mrs. Southwell's writers were working on.
We sure are grateful for such a caring leader!! Thanks for visiting us, Mr. Hale!!!
Mrs. Woods’ class had a great time at the CNC today! We learned about life in the lives of the 1870 farm families. We loved learning how to grind corn, feed the farm animals, saw logs, and pump water. These are just a few of the chores we learned about! We had so much fun!!!!
Mrs. Duhoski's 2nd graders use a gratitude jar in their room to recognize all the things they can be grateful for throughout their day.
On Friday's they read the slips turned in recognition of the students or adults that they were grateful for throughout the week.
I was recognized today for my expressed gratitude for all of my Little Lancers.
After the slips are read the students and adults who were recognized stand up and the entire class earns an extra minute of recess for each nomination.
Thank you for inviting me, 2nd graders!! I sure am grateful for each and every one of you!! And ...I am grateful for Mrs. Duhoski and all the wonderful things she does with her amazing 2nd graders!
Leaman's Green Applebarn and our PTO provided delicious caramel apple treats for all of our BCEL students today!!! We are so grateful!
