The Bureau Valley Ag Department said “see you later” to a very special part of our program today. Miss Merriman finished student teaching after a fantastic semester here at BV.

Throughout her time with us, Miss Merriman has built meaningful relationships with students, brought energy and enthusiasm into the classroom, and made a lasting impact on our program. She has touched the lives of so many students through her encouragement, patience, and passion for agriculture education.

Miss Merriman will graduate in May from Illinois State University and will be starting the ag program at Rock Falls this fall. We are excited to see all that she will accomplish in her own classroom.

We are grateful for the time, effort, and heart she poured into Bureau Valley. She will be greatly missed.

Physics in action!
Physical Science students utilized their understanding of energy, motion, and forces to design and build a paper roller coaster. Teamwork, and thoughtful problem solving came together to create two separate tracks. The students were then able to conduct investigations of Newton's Laws.
