Communication is important in everything we do. Our 8th graders built circles out of Pringle Chips. The collaboration and planning are important characteristics our students need to learn. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience @AVID4College

You know your school has a great staff when it begins to rain and Roadrunner Award Day w/ outdoor activities is adjusted without complaints. Activities included student choice options of making enchiladas w/ Ms. Payne in the Nutrition Lab. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience

It is great to have Megan Gretona from @KCSOS out at BW to work with our preschool staff. We are proud to be educating children as young as age 3 on our campus. All students deserve an opportunity to learn in a safe environment. @MGretona #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience

Here is a question for other school districts. Does your district's administrative assistant work in the flower bed with your students? Thank you Mrs. Baugh for spending time with students teaching gardening and lizard hunting. #1townschoolcummunity #BWExperience #BWRunners

Spring must be right around the corner because Mr. Parrish is working with our long jumpers for the upcoming track season. #1townschoolcommunity #BWRunners #BWExperience

Cal State Bakersfield was the featured university during February. Students won their SWAG this month. Same colors and mascot as BW. Maybe these students will be attending CSUB in the future. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience #BWRunners @AVID4College @CSUBakersfield

Our first and second graders learned what to do in the event of a fire in their home. Thank you @kerncountyfire (Buttonwillow Station) for visiting our campus today. Safety is our first priority. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience #BWRunners

In our continued week long celebration of Dr. Suess, and our constant promotion of reading, our staff served green eggs and ham to the students and parents. We also gave away Dr. Suess books as door prizes. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience #BWRunners

Listening and watching 3rd grade students create @Filpgrid assignments on their Chromebooks. Students explained how to do complete their math problems, step by step. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience #BWRunners

Students in Mrs. Yanez's 3rd grade class described disaster pictures after discussing adjectives and adverbs. Students returned to their seats to write a descriptive paragraph of a new picture. Students completed their work in Google Classroom. #1townschoolcommunity #BWExperience

Parents-our phone lines are down at the school. We will let you know as soon as they are working again.

It was a pleasure for our 8th graders to listen to Mr. Shipley, Mr. Leyva, and Mr. Pierucci from @General_Pride. Looking forward to seeing what this group of 8th graders will bring to Shafter High next year.
