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!

This week BCEL was lucky enough to have volunteers, directed by the CNC, come and work on some nature projects! We are so grateful for their time and hard work! Volunteers worked on building rain barrel platforms for our new rain barrels that will be installed, replacing stumps in seating areas that needed to be refreshed, and removing invasive Buckhorn that is found back in our nature areas. Thank you so much to Mrs. Pretzer, Mr. Frisbee, and Mr. Marcus for coordinating all of these efforts! And especially to all the volunteers that worked so hard! BCEL appreciates all of your work!!

On June 2nd from 5-7:30, BCEL/Pine River PTo is putting on our biggest event of the year...COLOR THE CREEK!! This is always such a fun event to end our school year with. This year Color the Creek is getting even more special. Mrs. Bredt will be representing the organization Riding for Ryan. Along with her family, she will be handing out free bicycle flags to anyone and everyone who would like one. These free flags make kids so much more visible as they enjoy riding their bikes!
