Ankeney and Coy Students in our Medical Detectives classes are diving into the new year with hands-on learning! 🧤
They recently put on gloves coated with GloGerm lotion to simulate dirty gloves. After mastering the proper technique to remove them, they checked under a black light to see if they avoided contamination. A great way to start the year! #BCSMedicalDetectives #HandsOnLearning #BCreekSchools
📚 Shoutout to Our Amazing Staff! 📚
Before our students returned to the classrooms, our dedicated staff participated in various professional development sessions, including reframing behavior, exploring the latest in artificial intelligence, and much more! Our team is committed to continuous learning and growth. 🦫
Their hard work, dedication, and the knowledge they gained from these sessions only enhance their tools for providing the best education possible for our students. Thank you for all you do to make our school a great place to learn and grow!

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Katey Ford 🌟
Let's shine a spotlight on Katey Ford, one of the invaluable members of our transportation department! 🚌 With eight years of dedicated service to the district, Katey wears multiple hats as a bus driver and on-board instructor.
When asked about the most influential person in her career, Katey credits Lindy Shumaker. Her favorite memory at BCS is when Lindy offered her the OBI position. "I know it's what I'm meant to do," says Katey. "Our transportation department is crucial, and we all strive to do our best. I'm grateful to be part of that."
Outside of work, Katey cherishes family time and cheers on her son at baseball games. For her, being a part of the Creek family means building strong relationships within the Beavercreek District. "I love the Beavercreek District and the relationships I've formed, not only with my coworkers but also the families in the district," she shares. 🚌 #StaffSpotlight #BeavercreekPride 🌟
