🌟 What a Night! 🔬🚀 🌟
Our Science Night in Manlius was a HUGE success last night! 🎉 Students and families danced in out in the Laser Show, purchased books from our Scholastic Book Fair, enjoyed hands-on activities from the Advanced Science Club, discovered the wonders of engineering, coded robots with the Junior High Robotics Team, experienced the Star Lab, and then enjoyed a meal from our high school FFA.
A big THANK YOU to our volunteers, clubs, and everyone who joined in the fun.
Already looking forward to next year’s event!
Doors open at noon today for the 2025 BVEC Art Show! Come around to the Storm Gym!
The book fair is ready and waiting! BVJH/Elementary students are excited to pick out their favorite books, erasers, pens, etc.! The book fair runs all next week!
Bureau Valley Junior High Student Council hosted a coin drive to raise money for our local food pantries. We raised $900 to divide among three local food pantries within our district. Congratulations to Mrs. Bells 4th grade class and 6D for collecting the most. Winners earned Jimmy John's lunch.
Students in Ms. Crabtree's class partnered up and worked together to decide what planet would be the best to land a solar powered rover on.
They used a flashlight as the sun to test the brightness on each planet. They had to reason why the planet they chose was the best planet for the rover.
Mrs. Kuelper’s fifth grade science class explored how the sun helps us explore other planets. The students constructed a model of the solar system and gathered observations of the sun’s apparent brightness from each planet within their model. Students then used those observations as evidence to support a claim about which planet is best suited to explore with a solar-powered rover.
Congratulations to Kylie Endress for her participation in the Regional Spelling Bee at Augustana College on Saturday, March 1st. Bureau Valley Junior High is proud of Kylie! She did a great job representing the Storm.
Ms. Bitting's third graders were given the opportunity to join Mrs. Ledergerber's students to dissect and learn about the parts and functions of a sheep's brain!
Mrs. Bell's 4th grade students' book projects for the 3rd nine weeks was based on a Who Is or Who Was book. The students did a great job!
Congratulations to our February IReady winners this month! They were Morgan Dowacter, Teegan Yepsen, Owen Lanxon, Myles Mahnesmith, Quinn Salisbury, and Kendra Brumley! They had the most lesson passed this month out of their classes. Way to go Storm!
