🚌Blue Earth Area Transportation is excited to introduce the Bus Rider of the Week program! 🚌
This positive recognition program encourages safe, respectful, and kind behavior while riding the school bus.
Each week, bus drivers select one student who consistently follows bus safety rules, listens to the driver’s directions, and shows kindness and respect to others. Students chosen as Bus Rider of the Week receive a certificate of recognition and a free Mini Blizzard coupon from Dairy Queen as a reward for their great choices.🍨
Through this program, we aim to promote bus safety, responsibility, and a positive riding experience for all students. We appreciate the support of our families and community as we work together to keep our buses safe and welcoming.

🥞💀Mrs. Eckhardt’s Anatomy & Physiology students put their knowledge to the test in a deliciously creative way—by carving assigned bones out of pancakes! Each piece came together to form a full skeleton, complete with some seriously impressive (and anatomically correct) details.

"Was the Mexican-American War justified? 🤔 Our 7th-grade history students dove deep into this question this week! 📖
By analyzing both primary and secondary sources, students explored multiple perspectives of this historical event. After gathering their evidence, they engaged in civil discussions to weigh the arguments on both sides.
The goal? To move beyond the textbook and develop their own evidence-based opinions. We are so proud of the way these students are practicing the vital skill of looking at all sides of an argument before drawing a conclusion. Way to go, historians! #CriticalThinking #FutureLeaders #HistoryInAction"

Our music department continues its tradition of community engagement this holiday season. Recent performances by the High School Concert Orchestra, High School Chamber Choir, and our 5th Grade students have reached local centers and businesses across Blue Earth and Winnebago. We are proud to see our students representing the district so well through the arts. 🎻📖
Mrs. Kafka's Class Tried Something New! 🤩
Where did we "travel" to today for our Holidays Around the World unit? The UK! We learned that apple cider is a popular holiday drink there, and the students were determined to find out what it tastes like.
Friday was the big tasting day! Most of the class absolutely loved trying apple cider for the first time. 🍎

Ms. Hodges' share some fun activities in her 7th grade Be-A-Quest class:
✨ Be-A-Quest was full of curiosity and creativity today! ✨
We brought out the Makey Makeys & Little Bits… and then I stepped back. No direct instruction—just free play and exploration.
It was amazing to watch students discover on their own how circuits work. They found that gum wrappers, fruit and pencil graphite are conductors, and experimented with all sorts of everyday objects to turn into controllers! Layla N. & Grace P. created a phone charger & Jacob H. & Max H created a keyboard for a digital piano! 🍌✏️⚡
This open-ended approach lets them problem-solve, test ideas, and celebrate those “aha!” moments that come from hands-on discovery.
Proud of my Be-A-Quest crew for diving in, thinking like engineers, and learning through exploration today! 💡🔧
