3rd grade had their first Ag in the Classroom lesson last week! They learned all about each step of the butterfly's life cycle. Students were able to make a model to show each step. Fun was had by all!
In Mrs. Rogers' 2nd Grade class we have been working on giving compliments! Each week we have a new Student of the Week, and the class writes them compliments and posts them on the board throughout the week. This is a great way to practice kindness and fill each other's buckets!
Tomorrow -- Friday, September 11th -- is HAT DAY!
🎉 100% Attendance! 🎉
We had a perfect attendance day at school today, and that was definitely worth celebrating with some ice cream! 🍦 Way to show up and make it a great day, BV Walnut!

Storm Family, We have a positive update to share. We've been notified that construction on Route 40 at the Hennepin Canal Bridge is now expected to be completed by August 13th. That means we will not need to adjust our bus shuttle times after all, and our regular schedule stays in place.One thing to keep on your radar: the Interstate 80 bridge may remain one-way for the foreseeable future. Please plan for some added delay at the lights in that area, especially during the morning and afternoon runs, and give yourselves a little extra time.One more reminder: the Manlius shuttle will resume back at the old elementary site.If you have any questions, please call our Transportation Department at 815-445-2161.Thank you for your patience and flexibility over the past few days. It's a great day to be a part of the Storm.Jason R. Stabler,Superintendent of Bureau Valley SchoolsGo Storm!

3rd grade had an amazing time at the Putnam Museum! Students were able to experience hands-on science activities, explore a Kaleidoscope Room created by a local artist, learn all about history around the world, as well as locally, and even enjoyed a 3D movie about our oceans!
