Congratulations to our middle school wrestlers who won the Williamsburg Tournament over the weekend! Great job, wrestlers. 🤼
Coy Middle School held its annual Spelling Bee. After 23 rounds, 2.5 hours, and 3 locations, Jessica Hess took home the title of Champion!
This was a record-breaking spelling bee! The competition was incredible, with the final 8 making it to the 18th round! The runner-up was Luke Mahr! 🐝
Parkwood Student Council members sold Candy Cane Grams in December as part of their community outreach to raise money for Feed the Creek. Every candy cane sold contributed to the fundraiser's success. Thanks to the generosity of Parkwood Elementary's students and staff, the Student Council donated $1,072 to Feed the Creek to help them provide food for children in the Beavercreek community. Way to go, Parkwood Elementary!
Meet Ruby Stahl! Ruby is a therapy Shihtzu dog at Dayton Children's. She sometimes visits students at Shaw Elementary and even gets a taste of what they do during the day as she sits at the table, ready to learn!
Please be advised that all BCS evening activities are as planned, including the opening night for the BHS Drama presentation of Hit and Misdemeanor, our Creek Hockey Military Appreciation Night at the Kettering Rec Center, and our boys' basketball game at Springfield. We hope to see many of you out tonight supporting our Beavers! 🖤🧡🧡🖤

Special congratulations to Junior Ella Schrader and Sophomore Frida Lozano, who have now qualified for the State Tournament in March! This weekend, the team will travel to the Toledo District to continue their regular competition season, so please wish them well as they compete at Sylvania!
Today, we highlight Brian Shively, our transportation administrative assistant for our staff spotlight.
Brian has worked for BCS for five years, and within that time, he credits Transportation Supervisor Lindy Shumaker as the person who has been most influential in his career.
He hopes students can learn two things from him: patience and kindness. Also, if there is one thing Brian hopes more people know about our district, it would be the array of opportunities our students have here, ranging from music, athletics, academic teams, and social clubs to numerous other activities.
We are incredibly grateful to have Brian as a member of the Creek family!
Due to the current road conditions, BCS will be closed today, Friday, January 19. Be safe and have a great weekend.
Don't feel like cooking tonight? No worries! Ankeney Middle School is "Raising Some Dough" at Panera on Dayton-Xenia this evening.
As part of the Panera Fundraising, 25% of all sales tonight between 4 and 8 p.m. will benefit Ankeney Middle School PTO. Please share!
Students signed up to explore hobbies together during their Flex class as part of Ankeney Middle School's "OH WOW" Week (Open Hobby Week of Wonder). The goal was to foster connections through shared interests. One of the many groups offered was the Taste of Beavercreek, where local business owners shared about being entrepreneurs and shared samplings of their food!
Students also brought in money that will go towards supporting Feed the Creek. Thank you to the owners/operators of the following businesses for participating:
Chick-fil-A of Beavercreek
Beavercreek Pizza Dive
Tropical Smoothie
Ritter's Frozen Custard
Allie Draper, a fifth grader, is Valley Elementary's first Storyworks contest winner. This is the first year of the writing club at Valley, and we are so excited to have a winner for this contest! "Bob D. Apple," aka Allie, wrote a letter to the president to persuade him to make the apple our national fruit. 🍎🍏
Great job, Allie!
Meet Alexis! Alexis is a freshman at Ferguson Hall, and this is her first year on the wrestling team. With two pins already under her belt, we are excited to see what her future holds! Keep up the excellent work, Alexis! #CreekPride 🧡🖤🤼♀️
One of the coolest things we do in many of our classrooms is something called "Mystery Reader." This is an opportunity for our students to hear a book read by someone other than their teacher.
Board of Education Vice President Krista Hunt visited Trebein Elementary last week and read to one of our kindergarten classes.
If Krista's smile didn't say enough, she also said "If you're ever sad, spend 30 minutes in a classroom. It made my day!" ❤️ #MysteryReader #SchoolBoardAppreciation 🧡🖤
Beavercreek Schools are on a two-hr delay for Tuesday 1/16!
