College Biology Class was excited for the opportunity to work with McCormick Elementary School students and their handwashing project. They learned so much from the collaboration. It helped not only with their mastery of microbiology protocols, but also with the enhancement of their abilities to interpret data and think critically. Letters were written to each of the elementary school student pairs explaining the bacteria found in their samples and the importance of disinfecting and handwashing.
The Blue Valley High School Scholars Bowl season is off to a great start. We are pleased to be back to face to face competitions. On November 30, BVHS competed at Frankfort. Our next competition will be December 6 at Centralia.
****Message from the Superintendent***** 12-2-21
Good afternoon,
I wanted to follow up about the concert tonight and the student’s wearing masks during the concert. I watched the rehearsal of each grade today and some songs were clear, and some were not. I asked Nurse Emily to come over and watch and advise on this as well. In order to give the kids and parents the best experience possible, we came up with a compromise on when to mask and when to not mask.
While the kids are singing or speaking, they may take their masks down so they can be heard. When they are resting or waiting to perform, their masks will be up covering their mouth and nose. Bringing their masks down to perform is optional. Thank you for your continued support. See you tonight at the show! #RAMFAM
