👟✨ Special thank you to Shoes 4 the Shoeless for stopping by Parkwood Elementary today! 👟✨

Also, a heartfelt thank you to all the incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and efforts to make this day possible. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated! 🌟 #Shoes4theShoeless #ParkwoodElementary #VolunteerHeroes 🧡🖤
We highlight Jenn Courter, a 5th-grade ELA and social studies teacher at Fairbrook Elementary, for our weekly staff spotlight. 🧡🖤
Jenn has been with the district for seven years and says her career has been most influenced by those she has had the opportunity to co-teach with. "They have pushed me to find new ways to challenge our students and brought joy to my day-to-day life. I could not do my job without them."
Her favorite thing about working at BCS is seeing her students, old and new, achieve wonderful things as they grow and move through the Beavercreek school system.
Jenn says, "The community at Fairbrook has inspired me to be more involved with Beavercreek in and outside of the school. Not only have I built a solid foundation in Beavercreek, but my family has as well.
Finally, Jenn enjoys reading and hiking in nature when not in a classroom. #beavercreeksbest #staffspotlight

¡Vamos al mercado!
This past week, Spanish 2 students in Señora Potter's class mimicked a traditional Hispanic market. The students created their own signs and products for their stand, communicated effectively in Spanish with the help of cue cards, and "purchased" products from each stand.
The different stands included Spanish vocabulary for fruits, vegetables, ice cream, meats, seafood, pastries, and clothing. This project lasted five days, and in the end, they got to vote on the best stand, vendor, buyer, and bargainer!
This was such a fun way to incorporate meaningful vocabulary and culture in a classroom setting.
Shoutout to our Creek Industries students at BHS!
Their hard work and dedication have been instrumental in helping with a project to enhance the safety of all students at the school. This is a large project, and their contributions have made a significant difference. The entire school community greatly appreciates their help. #CreekIndustries #BcreekSchools 🖤🧡🖤🧡
At Coy Middle School, students can use their PBIS Points to buy a pizza party with the principal and their closest friends! Our amazing students, Hannah Stites, and Arabella Eaton, took advantage of this opportunity and cashed in on these rewards! 🍕🍕🍕
More 100 Days of School celebrations!
Shaw Elementary third graders celebrated their 100th day of school last Wednesday. Students used 100 pattern blocks to express their creativity!
In groups, students were each given a bag containing 100 random pattern blocks. However, before starting their creations, they had to determine which shapes they had and each shape's characteristics, such as the number of sides, angles, and vertices. Then, each group was free to use the 100 pattern blocks to create whatever they wanted. Once they finished, the students wrote descriptive paragraphs about their creations.
Some of the fantastic creations the students created include a robot and Pikachu. One group even made their creation 3D!
It was a great morning at Trebein Elementary! These students are ready to start the week.
🌟🏆 Entourage, our middle school show choir, owned the stage at the Edgewood Contest of Champions in Ellettsville, Indiana, over the weekend! 🎤 They clinched Best Choreography, Best Vocals, and Overall Grand Champions! 👏🎉
#Rooted Alert#
Meet Emily Tyler! Emily is rooted in the BCS district - she graduated from BHS in 2012!
We spotted Emily during the Main Elementary Science Fair. Emily was participating as a volunteer judge from WPAFB when she informed us she had spent some time in the halls of Main Elementary when she was younger. From 2003 to 2005, Emily was a Main student!
How are you rooted in our community? We'd love to know. 🖤🧡
There's never a dull moment with our Beavercreek JROTC cadets. Recently, sixteen cadets began their journey into aviation with a newly developed Aircraft Simulator Club! This 3-stage ground and flight-centered course is designed to familiarize our cadets with the wonders of flight while having a little fun! Check out these simulators! #theskyisthelimit
Ankeney choir and band students traveled to Fairbrook, Parkwood, and Valley to perform for 5th-grade students as they are considering their elective selections for the next school year.
It’s Staff Spotlight time again! This week, we highlight Melinda Dyamod, a paraprofessional at Main Elementary.
Melinda has been with the district for ten years and is so grateful to be a member of the Creek family. She loves making memories at BCS and has so many that she couldn’t choose just one to highlight as her favorite. When it comes to her career, she says Ashley Kitchen has been the most influential person.
When not busy at work, Melinda enjoys being with her family, enjoying the outdoors, and trying new foods from different cultures.
We are very lucky to have Melinda as a part of our district! 🧡🖤 #BCSstaffspotlight

Beavercreek Robotics Club visited the Mayor’s “First Thursday” meeting!
Matthew Chen(10th), Kayleigh Seflers(9th), and Blake Pochet(12th) addressed “The Honorable Don Adams,” Mayor of Beavercreek, along with local members of the Chamber of Commerce and local business owners, sharing the positive impact robotics brings to their high school experience and catapulting interest in STEM-driven careers.
Students capped the evening with a demo of VEX REC competition robot maneuvers.
Fairbrook fifth graders recently finished learning about food chains. One fun way to understand how energy is passed on between organisms is to dissect sterilized barn owl pellets. 🦉
Owls cough up pellets because they cannot wholly digest what they eat. As these pictures show, these students had a "Hoot" exploring this hands-on experience in the classroom. #Bckschools
Join us at Ferguson Hall at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday for a Nationals Send-Off for our BHS Competitive Cheer Team! These ladies are heading to Orlando to compete in the 2024 National High School Cheerleading Championships on February 9-12 at Walt Disney World Resort. During the send-off, the team will perform their competition routine! 🧡🖤
More owl pellets. 🦉
Students in our new medical detectives classes learn about human body systems through labs and activities. They examined x-rays of broken and dislocated bones to learn about the skeletal system to diagnose patient problems. Then, they dissected an owl pellet, comparing the skeleton they found to the human skeleton. This class is open to 7th and 8th grade students at Ankeny and Coy Middle Schools.
Yesterday at Main Elementary, our second-grade students read and presented a puppet play of "The Chicken Who Couldn't" by Jan Thomas during library time. 🐤
It was a fun way to learn about overcoming obstacles and the power of believing in yourself. 📚
