We sent 24 students in grades 6-8 to learn about California Resources Corporation's Elk Hills oil field production. We have a great partner in CRC. It is important to learn about jobs and careers in our local area. #1townschoolcommunity

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

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
