🐻🩺✨ Learning in action across our district!
Recently, students from #CommunityHighSchool’s Medical Therapeutics class, led by instructor Kaycee Martin, hosted a Stuffie Clinic for Pre-K students at #CommunityElementarySchool. High school #students performed checkups on stuffed animals brought in by the younger students, including vital signs, height and weight measurements and quick assessments. 🩹❤️🧸
Pre-K students also learned about healthy eating habits and proper mouth care in a fun and engaging environment. 🍎🥦🦷
This hands on activity allowed Medical Therapeutics students to demonstrate the skills they have learned throughout the year, including communication with pediatric patients. Most importantly, both groups of students shared a fun and memorable experience together.💜💛
We love seeing our students learn, lead and make meaningful connections across our schools! ✨

✨Celebrating 250 Years of America Across BCS Schools✨
As part of the districtwide BCS America 250 Celebration (May 4 – May 15, 2026), and under the theme “Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” 📚✨ schools are participating in a tiered engagement structure (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) designed to encourage flexible levels of student involvement.
In support of the Bronze Level engagement, students in Brynn Elliott's History Club at #CommunityHighSchool collaborated to create a timeline of American history from 1607–2025, successfully completing the Bronze requirement. This project highlights meaningful student learning in history, research and civic engagement 🏛️📖
The America 250 Celebration marks the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding and provides opportunities for #students to connect with history, civic responsibility and their community. 🤝
Schools are encouraged to participate at the Bronze Level or beyond, with optional Silver and Gold opportunities available for those wishing to deepen engagement. 🌟

Collaboration, creativity and a little monster magic made for a memorable learning experience! 👾📚✨
Recently, Misty Thompson’s first grade class at #CommunityElementarySchool teamed up with Cindy Friendman’s students at #CommunityHighSchool for a cross-grade project centered around friendly monsters. After listening to stories about friendly monsters, the first graders designed their own characters and wrote creative stories to match.🎨✏️
Using the students’ templates, Mrs. Friedman’s class brought the monsters to life by creating stuffed versions of each design 🧵🪡. The excitement continued when they visited the first graders to personally deliver the handmade stuffies 🤝💛. #Students then read their stories aloud and compared their creations to the finished stuffed monsters, each one uniquely matched their original designs!
This project showcased creativity, #teamwork and meaningful connections between students of all ages 🌟👏. Check out these wonderful moments and friendly monsters!
