📐✨ In October, Mrs. Harney's 4th-grade scholarship math class at Trebein Elementary took on an exciting project-based learning unit to sharpen their math skills! These students pushed their math abilities to the next level through teamwork, decision-making, mapping, calculating area and perimeter, budgeting, and solving decimal word problems. Each student created an advertisement or a 3-D model for their final project. They engaged in feedback sessions to enhance their designs and wrapped up with a gallery walk featuring positive Post-it notes. The top six projects earned a spot in the hallway for all to admire. 💡🎉 🧡🖤 #TrebeinElementary

🎶 Fact Friday! 🎶 Did you know the Beavercreek High School Friends Show Choir has been sharing its musical talent for over 50 years? Established in 1972, this group started as an offshoot of the BHS vocal music program when a group of friends began meeting after school to sing more contemporary music. This casual gathering inspired the name “Friends” and gave rise to our amazing show choir! Since then, Friends Show Choir has been a proud Beavercreek tradition, bringing energy, passion, and creativity to every performance. Here’s to the next 50 years! 🖤🧡 #BHSTraditions #FriendsShowChoir #BHSFactFriday

Each student received an actual ballot and an "I Voted" sticker, choosing between the names Tom, Turk, and Butterball. After all the votes were in, Butterball was declared the winner!

🌱🥗 Mrs. Sutton's ELA and Science classes at Parkwood Elementary enjoyed a tasty and educational treat last week, sampling fresh salads grown in their Tower Garden! As part of their study on the roles organisms play in ecosystems, students had the chance to act as "consumers" of the leafy "producers" they helped cultivate.

It’s Election Day! And some of our preschoolers spent their day practicing the art of voting! Our youngest students cast ballots on fun topics unique to each class, like their favorite fruit, pet, animal, color, character, or shape. Each little voter chose just one option, practiced standing in line, folded their ballot, and proudly wore their “I Voted” sticker with excitement! The votes were counted at the end of class, and the results were shared with students and families. Thank you to our future leaders for making their voices heard! 🖤🧡 It looks like, for one class, Olaf is victorious as the class's favorite character! ⛄️ #FutureVoters #PreschoolElectionDay #BeavercreekProud

🚓🤖 On October 29th, Automation and Robotics students at Coy Middle School welcomed a special visit from the Dayton Police Department Bomb Squad! SGT Wolodkiewicz, Detective Ettinger, Officer Weidner, and Detective Cartee demonstrated how they use robotics to handle hazardous materials safely. Students explored Bomb Squad technology firsthand, learning to operate the robots and connecting the systems to their own class prototypes. This hands-on experience was made possible through a partnership between Beavercreek City Schools and the Greene County Career Center, bringing real-world STEM to our classrooms! 🖤🧡 #BeavercreekSTEM #CoyMiddleSchool

🎃🍬 Mr. Shaw’s third graders dove into some Halloween-themed science fun this past week! In a candy corn science lab, students grouped up to drop candy corn into different liquids—water, canola oil, vinegar, and soda—and observed what would happen. Each group dropped their candy corn pieces at the same time and timed the experiment. As they watched closely, they recorded their observations with both words and pictures. By the end, they discovered that candy corn dissolved in water, soda, and vinegar but stayed intact in canola oil! 🧪🍂 This hands-on experiment was a perfect blend of science and seasonal spirit. Way to go, scientists! #atShawWithShaw
