Bureau Valley Junior High Student Council hosted a coin drive to raise money for our local food pantries. We raised $900 to divide among three local food pantries within our district. Congratulations to Mrs. Bells 4th grade class and 6D for collecting the most. Winners earned Jimmy John's lunch.
Students in Ms. Crabtree's class partnered up and worked together to decide what planet would be the best to land a solar powered rover on.
They used a flashlight as the sun to test the brightness on each planet. They had to reason why the planet they chose was the best planet for the rover.
Mrs. Kuelper’s fifth grade science class explored how the sun helps us explore other planets. The students constructed a model of the solar system and gathered observations of the sun’s apparent brightness from each planet within their model. Students then used those observations as evidence to support a claim about which planet is best suited to explore with a solar-powered rover.
Congratulations to Kylie Endress for her participation in the Regional Spelling Bee at Augustana College on Saturday, March 1st. Bureau Valley Junior High is proud of Kylie! She did a great job representing the Storm.
