The staff of Pine River Elementary wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable summer break!
Students, parents and staff 'clapped out' the fifth grade students and wished them well as they head to Bullock Creek Middle School next school year.
Thank you to Ms. Terrill's class for cleaning our outdoor tables this week at BCEL!
Mrs. Pat Sweebe graciously donated perennial flowers and plants to our nature program. Students from Ms. Collison's room planted them. They will continue to be cared for and enjoyed by all of our students at Floyd. Thank you Mrs. Sweebe!
A perfect day to help close out the school year! Pine River Elementary's Field Day/Picnic Day was well attended and 500 hot dogs were consumed. Thanks to all of our great parent volunteers who made this event possible!
Pine River Elementary 5th grade has created ceiling tiles with local attractions painted on them. These are going to be put up in the ceiling at Lara’s 2 Go, formerly Owen’s Party Store.
Floyd wrapped up another Girls on the Run season with a 5K this morning. Lots of smiles and confident girls filled the streets. Thank you to our volunteer coaches (who are also Floyd teachers): Carolyn Brown, Emily Collison, and Ellie Stark and to all our families and running buddies who supported GOTR and cheered them on today.
Floyd third and fourth grade students visited Grace A. Dow Memorial Library recently. They learned about the variety of items that the library has to offer. In addition to books, cds and dvds, there are board games, yard games, puzzles and more. All for free! Each student was able to pick a new book to take home at the end of the tour and activities.
Floyd students in Mrs. Korson’s third grade had the challenge of designing a way for a “boulder” to roll down a “hill” without destroying Tiny Town during science this last week.
Mrs. Clark wrapped up another lunchtime Minute to Win It for our Floyd students. The kids enjoy the friendly competition and cheering on their classmates with this monthly event.
Pine River Elementary fifth grade students completed the Egg Drop project and tested their project. In this project, students design and then create a container which can 'house' an egg and keep the egg whole when dropped from the roof of the building.
Pine River Elementary fifth grade students had perfect weather for their two day trip at Mystic Lake. Thanks to all of the chaperones and fifth grade teachers who made this trip a remarkable experience for the students.
All 3rd and 5th grade students from Pine River Elementary attended Kids' Day at the Great Lakes Loons baseball game on Tuesday, May 21. It was a wonderful day at the ballpark. We would like to thank the Dow Student Heroes Program for providing tickets. The BC/PR PTO provided the food vouchers to the 3rd grade students. Also, Great Lakes Bay Orthodontics provided all of the tickets and food vouchers for the 5th grade students.
Congratulations to our 2024 graduates who made a final walk through their elementary schools this morning as BC students.

Last week the 5th grade visited Chippewa Nature Center to learn more about invasive species and help remove buckthorn from the woods. We are very thankful to be able to work closely with the Chippewa Nature Center. They always offer such a fun, hands-on experience for the students.
BCEL would like to give a big thank you to Remax for sharing your balloon with us today!!! What an awesome experience!!! We sure do love our community and the support they give to our students!!

Pine River Elementary readers were so excited to see the new Moxy Maxwell books they have been waiting to check out from the library!
Ms. Heider's very smart Young Five students enjoyed their math lesson outside today! The kids did an amazing job learning new material, practicing this new skill, and being respectful! I love that our teachers utilize our space throughout their day!
