Today, we celebrated our students' Quarter 1 successes with an incentive. JH students earned the incentive with good behavior, grades, and attendance. The students enjoyed a morning outside at Zearing Park and an apple cider donut. They played kickball, flag football, 9 square, decorated pumpkins, and more! Great work to all the students who earned the incentive!
Something new student council has done this year is daily announcements. Our officer team takes turns reading the daily announcements at the start of 9th hour study hall to keep our students updated and informed with all the things happening at BV!
Congratulations to our students representing

Thank you to Peoples National Bank of Kewanee for sponsoring our 8th grade Business class Junior Achievement Finance Park curriculum. With the support of PNB, students were able to learn about careers, finances, budgets, taxes, insurance and more! We wrapped up the quarter with an interactive online simulation. The simulation gave students a job, lifestyle and income. Students then had to make financial decisions on how to manage their money. They learned many skills that will help them in their future!
Thank you to senior William Miller for coming to talk to Ms. Haley's 8th grade class about high school!
