🚨 Important Safety Update for Parents 🚨 Dear Parents and Guardians, We want to inform you of an incident that occurred today at our Manlius Campus. As a precautionary measure, all students and staff were safely evacuated due to unusually high readings of carbon dioxide detected in our building. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. Emergency services were immediately contacted, and professionals are currently assessing the situation. We are working closely with them to ensure that the building is safe before anyone re-enters. Please be assured that all students are safe accounted for and dismissed normally. Brainstorm students have been relocated to the Central Office where they will continue normal programming. We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in ensuring the safety of our school community. Bureau Valley Administration Team

Fifth grade artists learned how to draw using one-point perspective with Mrs. Knapp. They are adding shading to make their forms even more three-dimensional, and adding a watercolor wash in the background. Great work fifth grade!
