💫 Big shoutout to two amazing boys from Ms. Murray’s class! 💫
They’ve been working so hard to grow as readers—and the best part is what great buddies they are along the way. 🤝 They cheer each other on and celebrate every win together.
Today, they both did an incredible job sharing their passages and even came to my office to read to me. Listening to them was the absolute highlight of my day! 📚💙
Way to go, readers!! Keep up the hard work—we are so proud of you! 👏👏

🌟 Exciting Progress at Bullock Creek Elementary! 🌟
BCEL is looking great! We are truly making amazing progress on our construction updates! 🛠️✨
✅ Our new playground is absolutely beautiful and just waiting for our students to get out there and play!
✅ Inside the building, things are looking just as great — with shiny new floors, crisp, fresh paint, and a smart new lighting system that turns on with motion (yes, the lights literally follow you down the hall 😄)!
✅ We’ve also added new exterior lighting and a secure new door off the back of the gym storage area.
There's still work to be done, but the transformation is well underway, and it’s looking fantastic! We can’t wait for our Bullock Creek kids and families to see it all come together. 💛🖤

🎉☕✨ Fancy Day Fun in First Grade! ✨☕🎉
Yesterday, Mrs. Chappel's first grade class celebrated "Fancy Day" in style with a special tea party and an awards ceremony! 🫖🎖️
The event was a joyful way to honor all the incredible accomplishments and amazing growth these students have made throughout the year. From learning to read to becoming kind classmates and curious thinkers — they've truly blossomed! 🌟📚💡
Great job, first graders! We are so proud of how hard you worked and everything you've achieved this year! 💛👏






Today, we had a special visit from Judy Main, a former 2nd grade teacher who returned to her old stomping grounds to share her love of books with Mrs. Dopp’s 2nd grade class. Mrs. Main brought along a delightful collection of books and matching Beanie Babies, creating a fun and engaging reading experience for the students. We are always thrilled when former teachers come back to share their passion and continue to inspire our kids. Thank you, Mrs. Main, for bringing your joy and generosity to BCEL today!





Mrs. Chappel has had a great start to Career Week!
So far, 1st graders at in her BCEL classroom have heard from:
-Patrick McElgunn: entrepreneur
-Sarah Owens: education consultant
-Matt Smith: realtor
-Cliff Coston: National Guard Supply Sergeant
-Sarah Pagano: airport manager (not pictured, oops!)
-Teresa Switala: mental health therapist
It's been so interesting hearing their questions and connections as they learn about all the different jobs.








🎉 A Fond Farewell to Three Incredible Educators 🎉
It’s with full hearts and deep gratitude that we celebrate the retirement of Mrs. Lacey, Mrs. Lombard, and Mrs. Gledhill, three extraordinary women who have dedicated their careers to shaping minds and touching lives here in the Bullock Creek School District.
These remarkable teachers have poured years of passion, wisdom, and unwavering commitment into their classrooms—leaving a lasting mark not only on their students, but also on families, fellow staff, and the entire school community. Whether it was a kind word, a creative lesson, or simply believing in a child when they needed it most, they made magic happen every day.
💛 Mrs. Lacey inspired curiosity and confidence in every student lucky enough to cross her path.
💛 Mrs. Lombard brought heart and humor to her teaching, building bonds that will never be forgotten.
💛 Mrs. Gledhill led with grace, compassion, and a fierce dedication to her students’ success.
Their impact goes far beyond the walls of the classroom—they have helped shape the spirit of Bullock Creek. Though we are heartbroken to see them go, we are so incredibly excited for all that awaits them in this next chapter.
You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in every life you’ve touched. 🖤💛
Thank you, Mrs. Lacey, Mrs. Lombard, and Mrs. Gledhill. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement! 🥹✨
