Juniors from BCHS teamed up to give the flower beds at Floyd a little TLC this morning. Some of these same folks were putting smiles on faces while volunteering at our carnival last night. We appreciate the time you've given us the last two days and LOVE when former students return with friends!

Mr. Ian, from Chippewa Nature Center, led Ms. Murdock’s 2nd grade students on a hike. They looked for living and non- living things and had some great discussions about the differences between the pond and vernal pools.

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.

We're looking to add two more people to our Floyd team! If you'd like to work with us but these two postings aren't a good fit for you, we're always working to grow our teacher and paraprofessional sub lists.
