Last week Officer Winner visited our Driver’s Ed. classes following our unit on alcohol, drugs, & impaired driving. Students used impairment goggles while attempting a mock field sobriety test, helping them better understand how substances affect coordination, balance, and reaction time. Later this semester, they’ll apply that learning in playing Mario Kart to demonstrate how impairment can impact driving ability with the use of the goggles.

The Bureau Valley High School Band and Choir had a fantastic time at Solo & Ensemble! Our students did a wonderful job showcasing their musicianship, preparation, and dedication. It was great to see them perform with confidence and represent BV so well.
We are proud of all the hard work these students put in and the growth they continue to show as musicians.
Go Storm! Go Bureau Valley!
