Congratulations to Jace Bence, Stevie Davis, Kinley Gruber and Sophia Thurston for being selected to sing in the Elementary All State Choir in Peoria! Students from all over the state will perform on the last day of the state music education conference in January.

Students in Gr. 3, 4, 5 have been working on expanding their writing skills through use of figurative language. The figurative language examples are: simile, metaphor, idiom, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, & alliteration. Way to go for making writing fun to read!





On December 7th, BV Walnut 4th grade kicked off their annual 12 Days of Kindness leading up to break! So far we have delivered candy cane grams and read to the Little Blessings preschool students. Keep an eye out for more kindness activities as we move through December!






Students in Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade class were given the opportunity to learn about the Art of Yoga and try out some poses. BV's very own Ms. McCauley is a licensed instructor and gave us a great Yoga class! Everyone enjoyed this relaxing time!

BIG THANKS for making a little magic happen!!
