🎨📚Rick Chrustowski, author and illustrator of children's books such as Bee Dance and My Little Fox, made a visit to Blue Earth Area Elementary School this week, where he talked to the audience about how he finds his book inspirations in nature and how a book is written from start to finish. It's also a special treat that the school library now has a drawing of a hummingbird from his visit, serving as a lasting reminder of the event.
You can find our more about this author on his website at https://www.rickchrustowski.com/ and you can check out his books by visiting our area libraries.

Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes who keep our spaces clean and welcoming.
Our custodians operate behind the scenes, and they are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day. Thank you, custodial workers, for turning chaos into order, and for making our world a brighter, more beautiful place. We recognize that you are the ones who respond first to our emergencies, and we see you taking care of our buildings and spaces, as well as the people in them. Thank you for all you do! ❤️💛

📸Don't forget! School picture day is tomorrow--Tuesday, October 3!
Over 6,000 dedicated officials serve Minnesota's high schools, ensuring fair, safe, and enjoyable contests.
Varsity-level officials must register with the League, attend training, and devote significant time to prepare and travel. High school officiating is a passion, not a profession, pursued alongside full-time jobs. Officials work for the enjoyment of staying involved with the sports they love and the opportunity to give back.
They play a crucial role in imparting life lessons through athletics, enforcing fair rules, and upholding behavior standards for successful high school events.
This week at Blue Earth Area Schools, we "Thank a Ref" and encourage you to show your appreciation for the hard work and dedication that our referees and umpires model for our students and communities.

⛵️Adventures in English Class: Mrs. Stallman's 8th grade English Language Arts students proudly display their hand-crafted galleons, combining art and literature this captivating class.
The process: students researched a source about a 16-18th century galleon, and determined if it was credible. If it was, they used that source to make the galleon from materials in the room. Then their groups presented their research and their final galleon to the class.
