We seem to have run out of school year Sundays for our Staff Spotlight! So today we shine the spotlight on our Director of Curriculum and Instruction! Important duties of the Director of Curriculum and Instruction include creating the instructional goals, methods, materials, and the assessments. Curriculum specialists need to explain teaching strategies, changes to curriculum design, and the reasons for those changes, so teachers feel invested. They also need to offer constructive feedback. This requires excellent communication skills and the ability to form positive working relationships. Thank you, Ms. Schmidt, for your hard work and dedication to our students! #beabucpride

Help us send lots of luck 🍀and good wishes to Payten Gudahl and Ashton Lloyd as they compete in the State Golf tournament this week! Go get 'em, Bucs! 🏆 #beabucpride

We seem to have run out of school year Sundays for our Staff Spotlight! So today we shine our spotlight on our Title 1 teachers! Title 1 teachers provide support and tailor education programs to help our students meet academic standards at their grade level. They understand the specific circumstances of each of our individual student’s struggles and works with them to inspire, instill confidence, and increase their self-motivation. We thank them for their hard work and dedication to our students! #beabucpride

You rock, Middle School Students of the Month! Way to end the school year on a high note! 🤩 #beabucpride

We seem to have run out of school year Sundays for our Staff Spotlight! So today we shine the spotlight on our hardworking technology department! From assistance with computers, iPads, and Smartboards to their expertise in websites, passwords, and social media, we would be lost without their knowledge and help. So much of our daily routine has a technology element to it, we don't even know the extent to which our tech department contributes to make our days run as smoothly as possible. Thank you for ALL you do! #beabucpride

A standing ovation for our 2023 EDDY Award winner, Betty Goraczkowski! The EDDY Award goes to a non-certified staff member at BEA Schools, nominated and voted for by all staff. Here is an excerpt from Betty's glowing nomination: "Betty always goes above and beyond to help people out whenever there is a need. She works hard and shows pride in what she has done. Betty has dedicated herself to Blue Earth Area Schools- initially as a paraprofessional and then moving on to being a member of the custodial team at the high school. Betty does not hesitate to support the school first by making sure the areas she is designated are clean, but quickly assists with other areas when her custodial teammates are absent...She offers her services when she hears of teacher needs. She comes in early and stays late whenever needed - taking on responsibilities to make events happen." Congrats, Betty; you deserve this award!

😃Please help us wish the best of luck to Blue Earth Area's Track athletes participating in the state competition this week! Pole Vault - Addison Armstrong 4 x 100m relay - Nick Nelson, Gage Barker, Jack Norman, Jacob Grandgenett Alternates: Austin Skaden, Will Allis, and Austin Stauffer 🏅Go get 'em, BUCS! #beabucpride

Thanks to all of the High School Students who took the time to nominate a teacher for the BEAutiful Traveling Trophy! Each Quarter a new teacher will be chosen to receive the traveling trophy and recognized as someone who makes this school a BEAutiful place to be. Our Quarter 4 winner of the 2022-2023 school year of the BEAutiful traveling trophy Mrs. Ehlers! The traveling trophy is made possible due to the donation of the laser cut logo by Tafco and Mr. Wickersham for creating the actual trophy. The high school students that voted also took the time to provide many wonderful reasons as to why they nominated the teacher they did.

A BEA High School Tradition of sending off our retiring or leaving staff in style.

Middle School questions we never knew we wanted the answer to: How many middle schoolers would run half a mile for some ice cream?!? We answered that question yesterday during the Buccaneer 600 Fun Run yesterday, and the answer is--quite a few! What do middle schoolers wear on their feet to run half a mile for some ice cream? The answer is some wear tennis shoes, of course, and others wear crocks, sandals, or their stocking-feet! #beabucpride

The last few days of school are jam-packed with exciting activities for our students! The fifth graders had a beautiful day at the swimming pool yesterday. #beabucpride
