Our BW students celebrated October by putting positive behavior tickets in a drawing for @CalPoly SLO swag. Our staff has connected their @AVID4College teaching strategies and learning about SLO. Maybe attending Cal Poly is in the future for these students. #1townschoolcommunity
A tasty way to learn about the phases of the moon. Using Oreos and the cream filling, Mrs. Yanez's class removed the filling to show the phase. When doing this project which tastes better a full moon or a new moon? #1townschool community #BWRunners

BW is hitting on all cylinders right now. Our teachers are a part of our staff meetings by sharing good teaching strategies. Technology implementation, creating verbal persuasive arguments, and notetaking/highlighting information. Wonderful to see a school with shared leadership.
Our students did a great job last night at our school board meeting. They presented their summer trip to Washington DC.
