Mrs. Vrabel’s 4th graders celebrated the end of their narrative literature unit on the book “Because of Winn-Dixie.” Just like in the book, the dog-themed party was complete with egg salad sandwiches, pickles, Dump punch, and sharing their stories and thoughts while enjoying "Littmus Lozenges” candy. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Mrs. Vrabel’s 4th grade class moved outdoors for hands-on science lessons on adaptations. Students examined camouflage in action and searched out living things to study behavioral, internal, and external adaptations for survival. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

Mrs. Stump’s middle school math classes today got to discuss and talk about the math behind the Buckwheat Festival and topped it off with some of that delicious whole hog sausage!

Our middle school life skills class tried their hand at making 'modified' buckwheat cakes today using half buckwheat, half Bisquick, mashed banana, brown sugar, and eggs. They seemed to be quite the hit!

Last week, Mrs. McKeever's 8th grade homeroom had zero absences and zero tardies! They get to keep Bruce this week and gave him a sombrero and some other accessories. We'd like to introduce Bruce Francis Wayne.

Mr. Larry is always ready to sit and listen to a story that a student needs to tell him.

Some second graders with Miss T worked through a read aloud STEM activity today to celebrate Spanish Heritage Month. They read about Pelè, the Spanish soccer king and all of his accomplishments. The kids wrote an informative writing piece about Pelè and used the three new Spanish vocabulary words they were excited to learn- rey (king) campeon (champion) and fùtbol (soccer). Then, they finished the day with an engineering STEM activity where students had to work through the engineering design process to build a soccer stadium for Pelè.

To get ready for the Buckwheat Festival, some of our pre-k kids decided to practice for the lamb dressing competition.

Bruceton School hosted tonight's Board of Education meeting. During the meeting Principal Jonas Knotts recognized school volunteer Brian Sell for countless hours of painting, maintenance work, repair work, etc. He also recognized Rodney and Mary Nieman for their ongoing dedication to the beautification and landscaping of Bruceton School, and Mrs Susan Moran, school secretary, for her dedication and service to Bruceton School.

Today was Parade Day in Pre-K! They put on their parade hats and held a parade through the building. It's all to help them get ready for the Buckwheat Festival parades!

We were excited to welcome the Buckwheat Festival Court today!
