It's National Bus Safety Week! This week is dedicated to:
🚌Raising awareness about bus safety
🚌Educating the public, especially children, about safe bus practices
🚌Promoting safety measures among bus drivers, schools, and transportation providers
🚌 Reducing bus-related accidents and injuries
To help ensure the safety of our students, our School Resource Officers (SROs), along with Deputy Chrystal Bowers of the Greene County Sheriff's Office, participated in "ride-alongs" with several of our drivers. They were on the lookout for safety issues like illegal bus passing and speeding drivers.
Throughout the week, they will also be monitoring bus stops and school zones across the district to keep our students safe! Thank you to everyone for your commitment to student safety! 🚍 #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek #StudentSafety #BcreekSchools #OneDistrictOneMissionOneCreek

Students in Miss Gore's class at Shaw have been learning what it means to be a scientist and each step of the scientific method. This past week, they experimented to answer the question: "What will happen to a gummy bear placed in different liquids?"
Our scientists hypothesized, observed, and recorded their findings—and were amazed to discover that the gummy bears expanded rather than dissolved! Then, they explored the science behind it, discussing how the gelatin in the gummy bears caused osmosis. They had so much fun experimenting and learning! 🍬🔍

Kicking Off Science with Fun and Curiosity in Mr. Shaw's Class! 🔬🌈
Mr. Shaw's class at Shaw Elementary started their science lessons this year by learning how scientists ask questions and make observations. To practice, they did a fun "Skittles Lab" to answer the question, "What happens when you pour water over Skittles?"
Each student arranged Skittles in a bowl, made careful observations, and recorded what they saw on their lab sheet. When the water was poured, the students were amazed as the colors ran off the candy and formed beautiful patterns in the water! 🎨#AtShawWithShaw

🧪✨ Last week, Mrs. McCormick’s 3rd grade class at Shaw Elementary had an exciting time learning about termites and the scents they follow!
The students explored how termites respond to different shapes, colors, and materials virtually—what a fun way to dive into science! 🐜🔍
