Recently, a group of very responsible 4th and 5th grade students at Floyd contributed to our school by working on our trail. They accomplished a lot, had fun and great conversations, and discussed what else they can do to help our school.










Mrs. Carey's class loved the extra time they spent at Chippewa Nature Center before their field trip. They had some time to explore the area and have a picnic lunch.










Ms. Bobola's class was able to enjoy pajama day AND a visit from Emily from Chippewa Nature Center. They had a wonderful time exploring the phases of the moon.




Thank you to the Northwood students who volunteered their time to work on trails, garden boxes , and the addition of a new outdoor seating area at Floyd.





☕💬 Coffee & Conversation
A big thank you to our amazing Family Intervention Specialist, Ms. Nicole Madlem, and School Counselor, Mrs. Annette Clapp, for hosting our very first Coffee & Conversations for our families at BCEL! We loved the time spent connecting, sharing, and learning together. 💛
Our next session will be on December 11th and will focus on after-school restraint collapse — what it is and how you can support your child. We cant wait to welcome you all next month!

🐻❄️ Mrs. Hedlund’s Kindergarten students at BCEL have been busy learning all about hibernation! After reading The Bear’s Winter House, they created their very own cozy bear dens. 🏡✨
Check out these adorable pictures of our young learners showing creativity and understanding as they built special winter homes for their sleepy bears! Great job, Kindergarten! 💛

Pine River students are having a good time exploring their interests through this year’s nature, computer, and art extensions. It’s wonderful to see their creativity and curiosity in action.







Creek for the win! Both the 7th and 8th grade girls basketball teams were victorious over the Harrison Hornets tonight! Great job ladies!










Our BCMS Robotics teams, 9020 and 10805, competed at the GLBR competition at BCHS yesterday. The students worked hard during their presentations to judges and when their robots were on the field. In the end, it all paid off! 10805 got 2nd place for the Innovate award and 9020 got 1st place for the Sustainability award! Now on to getting ready for the next competition at Midland High in 2 weeks! Great job teams and Go Creek!





A great night of wrestling for our BCMS wrestling team took place at Dow High! Our team wrestled well and prove that they are definitely a force to be reckoned with!










Mrs. Martin’s calculus students being safe and having fun learning derivatives.


🎾 A huge THANK YOU to the coaches from the Greater Midland Tennis Center for coming out to BCEL today and introducing our students to the fun and excitement of tennis! Our kids had an absolute blast learning new skills and getting a taste of this awesome sport.
And an extra big shoutout to Ms. Evans, our amazing PE teacher, for organizing such a fantastic opportunity! 🙌 What a fun way to learn about a new sport and stay active!

Learning takes flight in Mrs. Gillean's class! Students put their science skills to the test by exploring force and motion with paper airplanes! They discovered how pushes and pulls affect how far and how fast their planes fly. Every launch was a chance to observe real-world physics in action.

Congratulations to the October Lancer Superstars at Pine River. We are so proud of these students for demonstrating how to be respectful, responsible and safe.
