Congrats to Tamara Frost, who was awarded the 2023 Outstanding Educator of the Year Award, & Angie Hemmerich, who was awarded the Support Staff Member of the Year Award! Mrs. Frost teaches music at Shaw Elementary, & Mrs. Hemmerich is the head custodian at Parkwood Elementary.
Mrs. Minton's ELL students are from all over the world: Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Greece, Vietnam, The Congo, Turkey, Japan, Spain, and Lebanon. To start the 23-24 school year, she introduced them to America's favorite pastime, BASEBALL! Students learned baseball vocabulary and practiced verbs like throw, pitch, hit, miss, and swing. Then, they got to try it out for themselves. Also, baseball lessons are only complete with learning "Take Me Out to the Ballgame and eating some Cracker Jacks!

BCS Hope Squad students are hosting a Game of Hope on Friday, September 22, during our home football game against Wayne High School as part of National Suicide Prevention Month.
Connection is a factor that protects people from suicide risks, so Hope Squad members would love for the community to show up to this game wearing a Game of Hope t-shirt to show support to those who are struggling with their mental health.
T-shirts are on sale now through 11:59 p.m., September 6. Click the link for more information or to purchase a shirt. https://beavercreekgameofhope2023.itemorder.com/.../3414.../
We caught Mrs. Garcher's class as they were laser-focused today, reviewing how to make constructions using a compass. Students created congruent segments, congruent angles, angle bisectors, and perpendicular bisectors! #geometry #FergusonHall
Today was a great day for learning as we had various staff professional development going on. Our BHS teachers learned about ways to use data to inform instructional strategies. Our middle school teachers spent time collaborating to learn more about the characteristics and needs of our students and how we can better support them, and some of our elementary staff spent time learning more about emotional intelligence.
Our incoming freshmen attended orientation this week to prepare for the new year! A huge shout out to John Anderson, Heather Barker, and the Creek Crew students for working to make this such a success.
Also, while our students were busy preparing, a parent orientation was presented by Ferguson Hall administrators and counselors in the BHS auditorium. Thank you to all BCS staff and community groups who helped make this presentation successful as well.
Join us tonight for Open House Night! Each of our buildings will host an open house for students and parents to stop by and meet teachers, get acquainted with the building and classrooms, and get ready to start the school year off next week.
Need dinner plans tomorrow night? Support our student-athletes with TWO different options. Beavercreek Cross Country is hosting a Panera fundraiser from 4 pm - 8 pm, and the BHS Football Team is hosting a Skyline Chili fundraiser from 5 pm - 9 pm. #bcreekschools

Beavercreek City Schools and Ferguson Hall are collecting excess Halloween candy to provide gratitude bags for local first responders and veterans. We will be collecting excess, pre-packaged Halloween candy throughout the week of November 1-4. District-wide collection sites this year include Ferguson Hall, Main Elementary, and Fairbrook Elementary where there will be bins in the entryway by the offices for parents and students to drop off during school hours. Please send the candy in Ziploc bags. Please no powder candy or sweet tarts. Thank you for your generosity in this worthwhile cause.
