Before the school year wrapped up, our third graders at Shaw Elementary had a fascinating presentation from our incredible school secretary, Mrs. Exman, on animal skulls!
From reptiles to mammals, birds to fish, students got an up-close look at real skulls representing diverse animal groups. 🐍🐻🦊 Among the intriguing specimens were skulls from beavers, black bears, and coyotes!
A big thank you to Mrs. Exman for sparking curiosity and making learning come alive!

🌟 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 🌟
