🏕️🔥 Do you know what the best part of camping is??? SMORES!!! 😋
Some of our Parkwdoo preschoolers have been learning all about camping—what to pack, fun activities to do, and everything in between. As a special treat, Ms. Bamford made a surprise visit to the afternoon preschool class because they sold the most mums for the preschool program! 🎉
They celebrated with ooey, gooey, sticky, and oh-so-delicious s’mores! 🍫🔥 What a sweet way to wrap up our camping lesson! #PreschoolAdventures #CampingFun #BeavercreekSchools

🎭🎶 In case you didn’t know, Hamilton is now live at the Schuster Center, and our Coy choir students had an amazing opportunity today! They spent time with two cast members: Jared Howelton, who plays Marquis De Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson, and Marja Harmon, who stars as Angelica Schuyler.

Real-world connections and critical thinking at work! 🌎💡 #ScienceInAction #7thGradeScience #BeavercreekSchools #STEM

🌧️✈️ Despite the Miami Valley facing the remnants of Hurricane Helene, 40 Air Force Junior ROTC cadets from Beavercreek HS, Fairborn HS, and Bellbrook HS came together at Air Camp held at the Greene County Airport!
The AFJROTC Air Camp offers cadets an incredible opportunity to explore STEM-related fields, aviation, and aeronautics. They learned how to pre-flight aircraft, flew drones and simulators, soldered, worked with small engines, and even had a falcon land on their arms! 🛩️🦅
While the weather didn’t cooperate for flying yesterday, all cadets will get the chance to soar once conditions improve. A huge thank you to USAF Colonel (Ret) Rafi Rodriguez, the Air Camp staff, and the volunteers who made this amazing experience possible! 🙌 #AFJROTC #BcreekSchools

🍞 A Sweet Tradition Continues! 🍞
Many years ago, the grandmother of a Beavercreek Varsity Football player began making banana bread to bring the team good luck on game days. After her grandson graduated, the tradition was passed down, and this season, Mrs. Haacke's class at BHS has taken on the baking!
Each week, the staff in Mrs. Haacke's room bakes 16 loaves of banana bread, with the students helping to package and label them. Fifteen loaves go to the team!
As a thank you for their hard work, the team honored Mrs. Haacke's class with Impact Player shirts. This tradition has been a fun and meaningful way for the class to be involved and support the team.
Way to go, Mrs. Haacke's class, for keeping this special tradition alive! 🏈🧡 #BHSFootball #BananaBreadTradition #ImpactPlayers #CreekPride
