Bullock Creek School District

🍂🎃 A HUGE thank you to the Breasbois family! 🎃🍂

Our hearts are so full of gratitude for their thoughtfulness in decorating our school entrances for fall! The beautiful pumpkins and gourds bring such a warm, welcoming touch to our doors and make our Little Lancer home feel even more special! 🍁🧡

It’s little acts of kindness like this that remind us just how blessed we are to be part of such an incredible school community. We are so lucky to have families who go out of their way to bring a little extra joy and happiness to our students, staff, and families!

Thank you, Breasbois family, for thinking of us and sharing a little fall magic with our Little Lancer family! We appreciate you more than you know! 💛🖤

Pine River third graders took learning outside this week with a walking field trip to the CNC. Students extended their animal classification studies through various activities on a beautiful fall day. Thank you to all of our chaperones for donating your time and helping make the day a success.

Congratulations to the BCMS boys cross country team as they won the JPC Championship with an undefeated season in the conference.!

Huge congratulations to Dan Varner and Jenny Coston as they were recognized this month by our Board of Education for their years of contribution to our Track and Field program. Thank you Aaron Barth and Jerry Canze for the nominations.

Today our Kindness Crew from the Middle School joined other students from Midland County (5th grade -12th grade) in our annual Kindness Conference. Our students attended breakout learning sessions, interacted with other students from across grade levels and planned some fun and amazing activities for our Kindness week in November. It's a Great Day to be a Lancer! Way to go BCMS.

In Art class with Ms. Sushynski, the 3rd graders at Pine River were exploring different types of lines and patterns while practicing watercolor painting to create lined notebook paper and add color and visual interest to their oversized pencils.

Our fifth graders had an amazing week at Creek Week! Throughout the week, students explored the meadows, forests, and wetlands while learning about ecosystems and the plants and animals that call these environments home. They enjoyed hands-on activities, worked together to build shelters, explored the outdoors, and recorded their observations and learning in their journals. It was a wonderful week full of exploration, teamwork, and learning beyond the classroom!

Students in Mr. Wauldron’s Media Tech classes are at it again! Students were flying high and soaring while coding drones in the cafeteria. These fun flying offerings were presented by Mr. Mark Lyons from the Saginaw Regional Educational Media Center (REMC 9). What a great day for student engagement! This opportunity offers an insight and hands-on offering to career and technical education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The students are excited about many more technology offerings and challenges presented by Mr. Lyons and REMC 9. Thank You!

Ms. Sushynski's 1st grade artists explored the primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—while using their creativity to bring these spooky, silly monsters to life!

Join us for our annual trick-or-treat event at the Transportation Department on October 24th from 6 pm to 7:30 pm!

National School Bus Safety Week is observed from October 19 to 23, 2026.

Did you know that the Michigan State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division conducts annual inspections of all our buses to ensure compliance with stringent FMCSA guidelines?

Mrs. Cohoon's third grade class at Pine River took advantage of today's beautiful weather by taking their science lesson outdoors. Students were learning about how bees pollinate flowers.

Apple cider anyone? Our Nature classes learned the apple cider process from washing to pressing. Thank you to Mrs. Parsons and the volunteers who helped make this experience special.

When the Floyd Elementary boiler room door is open and a student gets a glimpse inside and wants to learn more, we can’t say no. Thank you to Mr. Andrew for answering all the questions…and then a couple more.

Mrs. Bredt may not have been able to start this school year right alongside us, but that hasn’t stopped her from being one of our biggest cheerleaders, strongest supporters, and greatest sources of encouragement.

Mrs. Bredt truly is the heart of BCEL. She loves her students fiercely, supports her staff endlessly, and pours so much of herself into our Little Lancer family. We are incredibly blessed to have a leader who not only leads us, but genuinely loves, believes in, and cares for the people in her building.

We miss her more than words can say, and our entire Little Lancer family cannot wait for the day she walks back through those doors! Until then, we hope she knows just how loved, appreciated, and missed she is.

Happy Principals Month, Mrs. Bredt! We love you and can’t wait to have you back home at BCEL! 💛🖤🏫

The 6th grade classes wrapped up their last day of printmaking. There was lots of experimentation and learning as they printed positive and negative images of leaves and attempted the challenging process of creating image transfers. This group did a great job of diving in! Some prints worked well and others didn't - that is the way Gelli Plate Printmaking goes, but the student's attitudes and openness to creative risk-taking was fantastic!

Congratulations to the Pine River Lancer Superstars for the month of September. They were a shining example of how to be safe, respectful, and responsible.

Students in Mr. Wauldron’s Media Tech classes were treated to robotics offerings presented by Mr. Mark Lyons from the Saginaw Regional Educational Media Center (REMC 9). The students are looking forward to many more technology offerings presented by Mr. Lyons and REMC 9. Thank You!
