Meet Emma Coning! We ran into Emma on Friday when the Celtic Academy of Irish Dance members visited the central office to perform.
Emma is a BHS 2017 graduate and is currently a teaching assistant at the Academy, where she has been dancing and teaching for the last 21 years!
We love running into people who are rooted in our community! Are you rooted? We'd love to know how. 🖤🧡
Happy St. Patrick's Day! This is one of our favorite times of the year because members of the Celtic Academy of Irish Dance always visit several of our buildings! Everyone enjoys watching them perform and can't wait to see them again next year!
We also love that many of the dancers are Beavers! 🧡🖤
CREEK FACT FRIDAY!
It's time for another fascinating tidbit from our community's history! Do you know what happened on February 1, 1934?
If you guessed that it marks a significant milestone in our community's education history, then you're absolutely right!
February 1, 1934, marks the establishment of the first Parent-Teacher Association (P.T.A) right here in Beavercreek! 🍎📚 This important organization has played a vital role in supporting our schools, fostering collaboration between parents and teachers, and advocating for quality education for generations.
Our fifth-grade students at Main Elementary recently embarked on an interstellar adventure as they delved into the mysteries of the planets in our solar system - and they did it in the most creative way imaginable: with Play-Doh!
They thought it was out of this world that the size of some planets was so small compared to the largest ones! A special shout-out of thanks to the parents who donated the colorful homemade Play-Doh! 🌎☀️
What better way to celebrate Pi Day than with a little bit of competition and a pie in the face?

Liam T: 125 digits
Allison W: 105 digits
Paisley F: 70 digits
Mr. Munnich celebrated the student's accomplishments by taking a pie to the face! 🥧

The Bombers Drill Team won first place overall at the Air Force Association Regional Drill Competition hosted by Tecumseh High School finishing #1 of 19 schools!
It was an exciting drill meet attended by 400 cadets from the top schools in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The Bombers earned a top-three finish in 8 of 10 events, highlighted by a first-place finish in Female Color Guard, Inspection, and Junior Varsity Color Guard. It was an impressive display of focus, camaraderie, and a “motivation check” for everyone in attendance.
The Bombers Drill Team have won four competitions in a row and look forward to competing this Saturday during Air Force Nationals at the Nutter Center.
The Beavercreek Speech and Debate team concluded their season at the Ohio Speech and Debate State Tournament on March 2nd.

Also, congratulations to team Meltdown, who received the State's Excellence Award!! ⚙️⚙️
At BHS, Mrs. Hess' sophomore Biology and Scholarship Biology classes recently got hands-on with science by creating candy DNA models to visualize how DNA replicates. It was a sweet activity that reinforced their understanding of this crucial process.

This week, our Valley Third Graders presented their Animal Research Reports.
For these projects, students transform into Zoologists to answer the PBL driving question: How can I as a Zoologist design the ideal habitat for the animal of my choosing?
Students spent weeks researching and writing a five-paragraph informational essay on an animal's habitat, life cycle, predator/prey, adaptations, and fun facts. Then the students created a diorama supporting their research of the animal's habitat.
Check out some of these projects! 🦞🦎
We just got big news…
For the second straight year, our Boys Bowling Team is bringing home the OHSAA State Championship!!

CREEK FACT FRIDAY!
Meet Roger Coy! Born on March 9, 1932 (the same year Main was built), Roger's journey through our school district is nothing short of remarkable. 🌟 Before starting his career with BCS, Roger graduated from the Main building in 1950.
From bus driver to assistant superintendent, he held various roles, including secondary curriculum supervisor, assistant principal, and social studies teacher. 🚌👨🏫 His dedication didn't stop there - Roger's very first position was as a wrestling coach! 🤼♂️ After 32 years of service, he retired from BCS in 1988.
Bonus Fun fact: Roger's family are descendants of Jacob Coy, after whom Coy Middle School is named. 🏫
Tomorrow is Roger's 92nd birthday. Help us wish him a very happy birthday! 🧡🖤
