BCES STEM Students Are Cracking the Code!
Our BCES STEM classes have been hard at work diving into coding activities! Students are learning how to think critically, solve problems, and create step-by-step instructions that bring their ideas to life.
Through hands-on challenges, they are building perseverance, creativity, and collaboration skills — all while having fun! Coding helps our students strengthen logical thinking and prepares them for a world where technology plays an important role in almost every career.
We are proud of our young innovators for staying focused, thinking creatively, and showing that learning can be both challenging and exciting!
Great learning, Ms. Davis!

Community Helpers in Action!
Barbour County Elementary School was excited to welcome members of the Barbour County Sheriff's Department as they visited with our students in grades K–3!
As part of their study on community helpers, students learned firsthand how deputies serve, protect, and support our community each day. They had the opportunity to ask questions, learn about safety, and better understand the important role law enforcement plays in keeping everyone safe.
We are thankful for the time the Sheriff’s Department took to invest in our students and help make learning real and meaningful. Experiences like this help our young learners connect classroom lessons to the world around them!

🐔Chickens in the Library? 🐔
Yes… you read that right!
BCES students recently earned a special treat for consistently practicing our Social Contract and demonstrating positive classroom behavior. As a reward, they had the opportunity to meet Ms. Wilson’s chickens right here at school!
Students were excited to observe the plump fowl up close and asked thoughtful questions about how they are cared for, what they eat, and how they help provide food. It was a fun, hands-on way to reinforce responsibility, respect, and curiosity.
We are so proud of our students for showing that great behavior leads to memorable learning experiences!

Jump Rope for Heart
Jump Rope for Heart was brought back to Barbour County School District not only in recognition of Heart Health Month (February), but also to encourage students to be more active. Being active decreases chances of obesity, heart disease, and other preventable illnesses. It was also an event to allow the students to show off their jump rope skills and have fun while being active.
Four students won prizes for jumping the longest.
