This week, our Valley Third Graders presented their Animal Research Reports. For these projects, students transform into Zoologists to answer the PBL driving question: How can I as a Zoologist design the ideal habitat for the animal of my choosing? Students spent weeks researching and writing a five-paragraph informational essay on an animal's habitat, life cycle, predator/prey, adaptations, and fun facts. Then the students created a diorama supporting their research of the animal's habitat. Check out some of these projects! 🦞🦎

CREEK FACT FRIDAY! Meet Roger Coy! Born on March 9, 1932 (the same year Main was built), Roger's journey through our school district is nothing short of remarkable. 🌟 Before starting his career with BCS, Roger graduated from the Main building in 1950. From bus driver to assistant superintendent, he held various roles, including secondary curriculum supervisor, assistant principal, and social studies teacher. 🚌👨‍🏫 His dedication didn't stop there - Roger's very first position was as a wrestling coach! 🤼‍♂️ After 32 years of service, he retired from BCS in 1988.
