Recently, Main and Trebein Elementaries students were lucky to be treated to Irish dancing by Dwyer School of Irish Dance. The schools enjoyed several dances, including some by former Main and Trebein students. It was great fun to watch the dancing and learn about Irish culture. 🖤🍀🧡
Mrs. Bolton's kindergarten class had a special visitor today! Superintendent Otten stopped by to read the book It's Ok to Make Mistakes to the students! 📚
🌟 Staff Spotlight: Corey Massarelli! 🌟
Meet Corey Massarelli, our dedicated, gifted intervention specialist at Parkwood, Trebein, and Valley Elementary! With 14 years in the BCS family, she brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role.
She has many memories throughout her career but especially loves the senior clap-out events. "It has been such a joy to see former students walk the halls and to have the honor of cheering them on and congratulating them on their graduation. The looks on their faces when they see all the students lining the halls and clapping...and when they see former teachers and are remembered and embraced and celebrated...it's just priceless!"
When we asked her who had been most influential in her career, she said, "How can I just pick one?" It all began with my own first-grade teacher, Mrs. Hokanson. She is still, to this day, my favorite! That year, I decided I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. My mom and my grandma were also teachers and huge inspirations to me. All three had a deep love of children and an enthusiasm for learning that overflowed into me."
In her 24th year of teaching, Corey is also grateful for her colleagues who guided and supported her journey.
Corey enjoys family time, reading, DIY projects, and cheering on her kids and students in extracurricular activities outside of school.
She is proud to be part of the Creek family and loves working with Beavercreek students, families, and staff.
"Beavercreek means the world to me personally, as my three children have been blessed to be Valley, Ankeney, Ferguson, and BHS alumni. Our teachers truly love and care for the children of our community, and it's a gift to witness every day." 🧡🖤
We are grateful to have Corey as a part of our team!

Students enjoyed watching Irish Dancers last Friday!
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.
It’s National School Social Worker Week and we are thankful for Trebein’s own Ms. Holman!!!
Trebein third graders participated in the Everybody Counts program today. Students discussed and learned how students with disabilities participate in sports and classroom activities just like those without disabilities.
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! 🧡🖤
🧡Celebrating Our school social workers for National School Social Worker Week! 🖤
We extend our deepest gratitude and recognition to our incredible building social workers for their unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions to our school community. We appreciate you!
#ThankYou #NationalSchoolSocialWorkerWeek
