Students in Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade class were given the opportunity to learn about the Art of Yoga and try out some poses. BV's very own Ms. McCauley is a licensed instructor and gave us a great Yoga class! Everyone enjoyed this relaxing time!

Mrs. Krug's class enjoyed another lesson from Ag in the Classroom! They learned all about cranberries and how they are grown and harvested. Each student also had the opportunity to taste some fresh cranberries, dried cranberries, and cranberry juice!

🚨 Important Safety Update for Parents 🚨
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you of an incident that occurred today at our Manlius Campus. As a precautionary measure, all students and staff were safely evacuated due to unusually high readings of carbon dioxide detected in our building. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities.
Emergency services were immediately contacted, and professionals are currently assessing the situation. We are working closely with them to ensure that the building is safe before anyone re-enters.
Please be assured that all students are safe accounted for and dismissed normally. Brainstorm students have been relocated to the Central Office where they will continue normal programming.
We will provide further updates as soon as more information is available. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in ensuring the safety of our school community.
Bureau Valley Administration Team

We've been investigating pumpkins in the month of October. We measured the circumference of the pumpkin, counted its vertical lines, weighed it and discussed different types of scales and then, we finally got to carve it. We voted on what type of face to carve and a glad face won. We did get creative with our shapes and used a circle, square and a triangle for the eyes and nose. Some of the kids loved touching the pulp while others were not so excited about the sliminess. We all enjoyed the jack-o-lantern 🎃 though when it was done.

One of our very own 3rd graders was inspired by our Drama Module in reading, that he created his own Thanksgiving play for his fellow classmates to perform! It had props, costumes, sound effects, backdrops, directing, and dialogue! Very entertaining! #UnityExcellencePride

Thankful Thursday - It's been a week since Thanksgiving, a day dedicated to expressing gratitude. Today, on the final day of November, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing Staff, Students, Board, and entire District at Bureau Valley CUSD 340. I am thrilled to announce that, according to the 2023 Illinois Report Card, ALL schools in our district achieved an overall rating of COMMENDABLE, except our BVJH/Elementary School, which earned the highest honor of EXEMPLARY! Congratulations to everyone for creating such outstanding learning environments in our schools!
GO STORM!
