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!

This weekend, some of our BV Walnut students had the opportunity to participate in the ILMEA District 2 Elementary General Music Festival held at United Junior Senior High School in Monmouth, IL!

The general music sessions brought together students from 11 schools, totaling 133. Our beginning band students participated in the festival honor band and performed with 162 students from 17 schools. All students finished the festival with a performance showcasing their work for the day! We are so proud of our students and their representation of the BV Music Department!
