Summer school students wrapped up the first session by cooling down with a water war!!💦💦
Summer break just began, but we are posting supply lists in case you want to hit the "Back to School" sales that I'm sure will be starting soon.
Summer school students are having a blast with all kinds of learning activities. They got to make water gel pets compliments of Miss Cobb... thank you! Aaaand listen to some great fluency and expression from Ms. Smith's students who performed a Reader's Theater. 🌞
Students in Mrs. Jensen's summer school class show off the flyers they created to entertain and persuade other students to attend the Fun Fest they are planning. All students attending summer school voted for their favorite flyer and Oliver and Ariana won!
If your student has medication in the office at the school, please pick that up by tomorrow at 2:45 PM at BMS & BHS and by 3:30 PM at BES.

The final STEM Hour for the year had our kindergartners competing to build the tallest house using only index cards and tape, investigating symmetry using shapes, and programming Indis (little cars) using cards and spheros using the iPads. Thank you to the parent helpers who helped make these special Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math activities possible.

Another fabulous year for Barhitte’s 4th graders on Mackinac Island! Even with cloudy skies, the fun, activities, and smiles were shining bright! We all had an amazing day!
Kona Ice was a big hit at field day, too! Thank you so much to all the folks who volunteered, who supported this fundraiser and to those who "paid it forward" to ensure that everyone who wanted a Kona Ice got a Kona Ice!!
More pictures from the Barhitte field day...enjoy!
The weather was perfect for yesterday's field day at Barhitte. Thanks to the many staff and volunteers who helped make this a day where kids could wear themselves out having fun!
2nd grade field trip to Sloan Museum continue (last 7 pictures)...enjoy!
Mrs. Baxter's and Mrs. Smith's second graders enjoyed a fun field trip to the Sloan Museum, exploring scientific concepts, especially in physics. Since we've been learning about states of matter, we also learned how to make our own ice cream—what a delicious way to learn!
At the annual Young Author Story Hour, these 1st time authors got all rave reviews on writing, illustrations and reading, from a very discerning audience of parents, grandparents, aunts, young siblings, babysitters….

Please note that the wrong calendar for Bentley Community Schools was shared yesterday. The attached version from 2025-05-28 (V5) shows the correct homecoming information: October 3rd is the game and October 4th is the dance. We apologize for any confusion.
With the cold and wet weather today, the annual Kindergarten walking trip to the fire station needed to look a little different. Thankfully our Burton Firefighters are super flexible and helpful so our Kindergartners still got to learn all about fire safety and were still even able to tour a fire engine.
What happens when you dip a dandelion (commonly known around here as “love flowers”) that have gone to white seed heads straight into water and pull it out? Some little scientists did that experiment in class the other day, and it led them to experimenting on their own in a puddle at recess. They tried yellow dandelions, other flowers, dipping them more than once…
