Bullock Creek School District

BCMS science students in Mrs. Gillean's class turned into mini meteorologists with a hands-on lab following their unit on how air mass interactions drive weather changes and modeling the final stage of an air mass collision leading to precipitation. Using warm water (the air), shaving cream (a cloud), and blue food coloring (water droplets), students watched what happens when clouds collect too much moisture. Once the shaving cream "cloud" became too heavy, the color broke through—demonstrating how precipitation forms and falls as rain.

Our BCEL staff kicked off the morning by focusing on what matters most: connecting with our students!

At our staff meeting we spent time celebrating all of the amazing things happening across our building, remembering that true school success always starts with strong relationships and support from every adult in our school community. That "good stuff" begins with connection!

We are so grateful for our incredible change-makers here at BCEL and the difference they make every single day to our students, families, and each other! 💛🖤

Great night for some BCMS girls basketball! Although the outcome was not what we were hoping for, our teams played hard against Shepherd and never gave up.

The Kindness Challenge for Day 2 at Pine River was to sit with someone new and paint kindness rocks to add to our garden in the front of the school.

Floyd students had a blast when Northwood athletes visited for their Go MAD Day. (Make A Difference Day)Time was spent reading, exploring the woods, playing at recess, and visiting during lunch. The building was buzzing with excitement!

Our Little Lancers had some very special guests this morning!

Students from the High School Career Education class visited BCEL to read and share books with our classrooms. Our little ones look up to their "big friends" so much, and seeing the connections between our high schoolers and youngest learners makes days like today so special.

We love having our high school students visit! Thank you for being such wonderful role models for our Little Lancers!

Today kicks off “Paint It Black & Gold with Kindness” Week at Pine River! We will celebrate all the ways we show and receive acts of kindness in our school family and greater community. Kindness Week is an annual observance dedicated to promoting compassion, community connection, and selfless good deeds. Our students show these behaviors throughout the school year, but this week allows us to spotlight how much we care! Thank you to Ms. Monique and the 5th Grade Leadership Team for planning Kindness Week activities.

Our two Middle School robotics teams competed at the Bullock Creek Qualifier this weekend. They worked hard during judging, competition, and cheering on teams. We wouldn't have been able to do it without our High School team, volunteers, and mentors. The High School team put on a wonderful event. We can't wait til our next competition at Midland high in 2 weeks. Let's go Creek!

It's wrestling season! Our Lancers took on St. Louis and Farwell last night for our first meet of the year. If last night was any indication, this season should be electric!

Pine River students enjoyed having Mr. Hale visit their classrooms this week.

Today we celebrated our October Lancers who LEAD recipients. These students have reminded us that a positive attitude is contagious and hard work does not go unnoticed! Congratulations! 6th Grade: Tess Hitsman, Isaiah Krotzer and Leighton Wenger; 7th Grade: Oliver Clare, Harlee Orvosh and Violet Nothstine; 8th Grade: Brooklyn Miller, Emma Booth and Colton Young

Floyd's 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students accepted an invitation to CMU today to experience a college basketball game. Pre-game music, half-time fun, and a close game made this day extra fun for all.

Seventh-grade students in Mr. Mason's English class are wrapping up the writing process on their memoirs. Before finishing their final drafts, they conducted peer reviews to gain honest feedback and constructive criticism from each other. Aiding the students in this endeavor is the rubric that they will all eventually be graded against. They were very engaged in reading each other's stories and liked the feedback they received from their peers.

Our hallways were absolutely buzzing today! From pop culture icons and hilarious DIYs to matching squad goals, our middle schoolers brought 100% creativity to their costumes. Here is a look at our costume contest winners and a few other snapshots of some great costumes from throughout the day! Have a safe and Happy Halloween, BCMS! 🎃

Have a safe and happy Halloween 🎃 from BC Transportation!

Good luck to Bullock Creek Football tonight! Thank you, HTFD and MTFD, for escorting us.

It was a beautiful night for the Halloween Walk at Floyd. Thank you staff, PTO, and other special volunteers for helping make it happen. It felt so good to be together tonight! 🖤💛

Floyd students were greeted by a rainbow this morning, and wow, did it bring on a magical feeling!

Great job by our BCMS 7th and 8th grade bands tonight at their Halloween concert! We had the pleasure of listening to our 7th and 8th grade bands perform individually and then together. There was even some time for some trick or treating!
