It takes a lot of activities to keep kids engaged this time of year!
The Reading Counts kids store was a big hit. The students spent the bucks they had earned from reaching their monthly reading goals. What a fun day!!
We had a great day today learning all about where milk comes from, and things made from it. Thanks to the BV FFA for the help, and the Riley County Farm Bureau for providing the Ag Ed boxes!
What a great night for the FFA Awards Banquet!! There was an amazing turnout by the community. Mr. Meals and the FFA students did a tremendous job!
Spicing up reading groups with whisper phones today! Nothing is more fun!
The McCormick Elementary music concert is May 18th and the Blue Valley Middle & High School music concert is May 20th. Both concerts will be in the new gym at the high school and start at 7:00pm.
Only 2 people (preferably adults) per student will be allowed to attend the concerts. The concerts will be live streamed on the schools YouTube channel.

Nothing says spring like colorful flower paintings! First graders used a variety of methods to create their masterpieces!
The 4th Graders planted our 4H Garden this week! We are growing onions, lettuce, spinach, and radishes. Our goal is to enjoy a fresh salad at the end of the school year!

Hello Blue Valley Families. Sorry for the short notice. The road construction started today causing 15-20 minute delays for the buses from Olsburg to Randolph and vice versa. We apologize for the inconvenience.
UPDATE ON KINDERGARTEN ROUNDUP MAY 4TH, 2021
Hello Blue Valley Families, I wanted to update you on the Kindergarten Round-up being held on May 4th from 5:30 - 6:30 at McCormick Elementary School. As the staff and I initially planned this event, a lot of thought went into how we could make it the safest way to have the “Round-up.'' We made the plans and sent the information out to the community. Since then, we have had some discussion with a variety of stakeholders about the event and we have decided to make some slight changes to the Kindergarten Round-up 2021.
The date of the event will be May 4th from 5:30-6:30 @ McCormick Elementary. We will have 2 portions to the event to accommodate as many people as possible: From 5:30-6:00, McCormick Elementary School will be open for an Open House to meet Mrs. Dreith. During the Open House, parents and incoming Kindergarteners are welcome to come in the building, take a tour of the classroom and building. Parents are encouraged to not bring siblings as there will be no child care available and the playground will be closed. From 6:00-6:30, Mrs. Dreith will move outside for the drive through portion of the event so parents who want to drive up can meet her and pick up their Kindergarten enrollment packets. We hope to see all incoming Kindergarten students and family on the 4th.
This is a reminder to fill out the 2nd preschool survey. If you have already filled it out, thank you! If not, please fill it out by Friday, April 23rd.
