This week, fifth-grade students participated in a challenge to design and build a tower that stands independently while spanning a stream. The tower must be at least 12 inches tall and can only use three pieces of paper and 12 inches of tape. Please stop by the library to see their creations and learn more about the project.

Lots of Constitution Day activities today! Our 3rd graders joined a nationwide mock trial to spark interest in Civics, serving as members of the jury, and eventually voting in with a "not guilty" verdict. The mock trial can be viewed in its entirety here: https://youtu.be/DDGgSCz5oGQ?si=YNafQ-F1S0QEb6kH&t=825 Then our entire school joined community members around the flagpole for our Constitution Day Program put on by Mrs. McKay's elementary students. They did a fantastic job!

Mrs. Cauffman's first graders explored the circulatory system with the help of our school nurse, Susie Peterson. They found their own pulse, listened to a friend's heartbeat through handmade stethoscopes, and found that exercise increases the body's need for oxygen.

Students in third, fourth, and fifth grades have been collaborating on a Coin Tower Challenge. They are working together to construct a tower that can support a coin. Teams are limited to using the following materials to build their towers: clothespins, notecards, craft sticks, index cards, and tape. Throughout this project, they have been learning valuable lessons about support, time management, and teamwork.

Big Horn #1 District Teacher of the Year!

We are excited to honor Patricia Casey, secondary FCS and Art teacher at BHS, as the 2024-25 District Teacher of the Year!

Ms. Casey doesn’t just teach content; she teaches excellence. She leads by example, modeling hard work, high standards, and a positive attitude that inspires students to rise to their potential. One of her most exciting recent contributions is the launch of a Catering course for students who have earned their Serve Safe certification; it’s a program that not only develops technical skills, but also builds confidence and career readiness. While her accomplishments are impressive, it’s her students who best capture the heart of her work. Here are just a few of their comments:

“Ms. Casey stays after to help me in Boost every day. She doesn’t have to, but she does. And that means a lot to me.” “I can tell she loves teaching because she’s always smiling and she’s simply kind.” “Ms. Casey believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. She showed me that I can do hard things.” “Ms. Casey’s room is a safe place where we can be ourselves.” “Ms. Casey taught me that effort is the important part and that if I keep trying, I can get better.” “She brings mega-good energy. I look forward to her class every day.” “Ms. Casey makes the time to listen to me, no matter what’s going on.” “I have learned how to be more confident because of her.” “I never liked school and I wasn’t good at anything until I took Foods class with Ms. Casey. Now I’m thinking about a career in culinary!” “She makes all of us feel like we are her favorites and that can’t be true, but it sure feels good.” “Ms. Casey pushed me to do things I didn’t think I was ready for and I found out that I can!” “She motivates me by her teaching and by the kind of person that she is all of the time.” “She has this way of listening, really listening, to our thoughts and questions.”

Our MS and HS Student Council members held an assembly today to issue a challenge to both students and teachers: During the whole month of September, can you commit to NO screen time during the school lunch hour? Our StuCo members are leading the challenge and will be providing incentives and alternatives to screen time during lunch. Talks for a nine-square game are in the works, based on student participation. Can you commit to this one month challenge?

One of our summer projects included pouring new concrete and adding newly painted lines for basketball, foursquare, hopscotch, and pickleball, which are a big hit. So many fun things to do at recess!
