Mrs. Little's fourth-grade class at Pine River has been working on various reading skills—with some basketball mixed in! Each day, the students read and answer questions to improve their reading comprehension skills. Each 'basketball team' participates in a March Madness-style bracket and gets to shoot baskets to advance. They will have an overall champion and various MVPs!

Our middle school’s production of Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Dad) opened last night to an enthusiastic crowd! This light-hearted comedy features three fun and quirky plays rolled into one which are told through the eyes of a dad reading bedtime stories to his kids. With a running time of just 1 hour and 15 minutes, it's the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon of laughs. Don’t miss the next show on Saturday, March 22, at 2:00 PM at Bullock Creek High School. Admission is just $5 for adults and $3 for youth. We hope to see you there for this entertaining and heartwarming performance!
Floyd 3rd graders have been investigating and learning about vernal pools. They are trying to figure out why there isn't any water and looking for signs that it is a vernal pool area.
Seed planting has started at BCEL! We are excited to watch our plants grow.
Over the past two days, BCEL’s talented second-grade authors took center stage to proudly share their published writing with an enthusiastic audience of parents. Our young writers showed incredible courage as they read their pieces aloud, demonstrating just how much they’ve grown in their writing skills! We couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, creativity, and progress.
A huge congratulations to our second graders—you were amazing on stage! It was truly a joy to watch you shine. Author’s Share is such a special event!
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to our dedicated second-grade teachers for their time, effort, and dedication in planning and organizing this incredible experience for our students and their families. Your hard work made this event unforgettable!

Mrs. Martin’s Honors Physics students were using energy transformations to calculate the speed their toy launched off the table.
BCEL is incredibly fortunate to have the most amazing PTO! Today, they went above and beyond to spoil us with their thoughtful "Whoot Whoot Wagon," delivering drinks and gifts to all of our staff. We had the joy of choosing a favorite drink and a fun classroom supply, delivered right to us with smiles and kindness. We are truly grateful for our phenomenal PTO and all they do to support our staff, students, families, and the entire community. Your dedication and generosity make such a meaningful impact, and we can’t thank you enough. Thank you, BCEL/PR PTO — we appreciate you more than words can express!

“What makes this place so great is the owner, because of how caring she is for the community, and her care for her customers.”
“No matter who you are, she would go the extra mile to help achieve whatever goal you have placed. Whether it's weight loss or just eating healthy - with the variety in food choice offered it is made possible with ease to achieve any goal set.”
