A wonderful evening at the Buttonwillow Parade and Christmas Tree Lighting. Our preschool performed, our band played, our Cotton Festival Princesses returned as elves, Marianna soloed on the flute, and the flag team did a marched. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda @nrea1
Thank you to the Dairy Council of California for bringing Buttercup the cow out to our playground. Our students enjoyed the visit and the information about the dairy industry. #1townschoolcommunity @smallschoolda @nrea1
Our Maintenance Team at BW is second to none. Awesome job, Ruben, Darryl, Misty, and Rosa on the gym floor. You worked hard while many of us were away from campus. Shiney and bright for our new basketball season to start. Reflections! #1townschoolcommunity
With just a few people on campus today it was time to trim the palm trees, including our In n Out Burger style palms in front of the office. Enjoy your week of Thanksgiving Break.
Our November drawings were held @buttonwillowusd. The students had an opportunity to be selected for @DukeU gear. Tickets were for actions, improvements, successes, and respect. #1townschoolcommunity @avid4college #thisisavid

We were fortunate to have a great speaker on campus today. @Linebacker_Dad gave an awesome message to our 4th-8th graders about making good choices. He served as a counselor at Camp KEEP for some of our 6th graders last year. #1townschoolcommunity
Plan on attending the BW Turkey Bingo Night this Friday at the Buttonwillow Rec this Friday.
We love curriculum integration at BW. The history and art of Ancient Egypt integrated with the science of mummification. Our 6th grade students creating canopic jars to mummify a cut apple. #1townschoolcommunity Thank you @PaulArreola5 & @MissDPayne2
Duke is our featured university this month. Some of the gear is up. We will see students wearing Duke around campus beginning in December. #1townschoolcommunity @AVID4College @DukeU #bwexperience
Our students had the BEEP ticket drawing Taft College gear. @taftcollegealum was our college for October. Many of our former students and staff have attended Taft. These BW students could start their careers/college experience in Taft. #1townschoolcommunity @AVID4College
What a pleasure to walk in @mrs_younger_'s classroom and watch teaching that includes high level thinking, collaboration, class oral presentations, Google Slides, scaffolding, inquiry, and critical thinking among other things. #1townschoolcommunity @AVID4College @SmallSchoolDA
