Santa Claus the Musical was a big “hit”Saturday! BV Brainstorm students were treated to a production at Circa 21. We are looking forward to our play “Christmas in the Land of Oz” on Dec 17! Brainstorm is a part of a Federal Grant in Partnership between Bureau Valley and the Regional Office of Education.
Today our Stormbots wrapped up an amazing competition season! They have so much to be proud of. They spent countless hours brainstorming, building, testing, laughing, and growing together. Their teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving were truly awesome.
📣💙🏀 Good luck to our 7th grade Girls Basketball Team

Happy Thanksgiving!!!🦃 🍁 🍽️
3rd-5th grade students completed STEM challenges related to Thanksgiving.
3rd graders were tasked with using their engineering skills to create either a cage to keep their turkey from escaping or a platter for their turkey to sit on. Students were limited to using only marshmallows and toothpicks.
4th graders were tasked with using their engineering skills to create a shock absorbing turkey nest so that when the turkeys laid their eggs they would not break.
5th graders were tasked with using their engineering skills to create either Mini Mayflowers or Mini Mishoons that would hold the most weight without sinking.
Ms. Bitting's 3rd graders drew these amazing roasted turkeys and wrote acrostic Thanksgiving poems to go along with them.
Mrs. Bell's and Miss Yepsen's 4th graders read Balloons Over Broadway and learned about how the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloons were invented. Each student designed and created a balloon for their own mini-parade!
Students in Ms. Crabtree's class figured out how much it would cost to make a Thanksgiving dinner $$$. They had to search ads to find the best deals on a turkey and all the ingredients to make the traditional side dishes and desserts.
Our Lost & Found is overflowing with jackets, water bottles, lunch boxes, and other items that have been left behind. To help families identify missing belongings, we’ve created a short video showcasing all items currently in the Lost & Found that was emailed out to families this morning.
Please take a moment to watch the video and check for anything that may belong to your child.
All unclaimed items will be donated over Thanksgiving break, so we kindly ask that you review the video and retrieve any belongings before then.
Thank you for your help in keeping our Lost & Found organized and ensuring items make their way back home!

Sixth grade Earth Science students modeled the formation of igneous rocks by pouring caramelized sugar into cold water. Depending on the cooling rate and technique used, a crystal resembling either obsidian or pumice was produced.
