Ms. Ashley shared a book and lesson with Mrs. Espolt's class today. Students learned we are all made different and we should treat everyone with kindness. Love, love, love!





2nd Grade AR Fundraiser
We are excited to offer bigger, better Accelerated
Reader incentives this year! We would like to take students on field trips for every goal (free of charge)! We will continue to offer prizes for goal increments, but would also like to recognize 100 point Club students with special medals and an exclusive field trip at the end of the school year.
We have decided to have our BIGGEST FUNDRAISER EVER! This is an exciting opportunity to purchase Bristow Pirate gear for a good cause! Blankets will arrive before Christmas- so think of all the gifts!
All orders are due Sept. 26th.

It is Read an Accurate Ag Book Week! 4H students volunteered to read to our students today! One group learned all about farming and how their meals are directly connected to the farm. Thank you to all the 4H students participating this week!


BPS has been hard at work getting BusRight set up and ready for the 2025-26 launch! Parents whose child rides a bus can expect to receive an invitation via email on September 5, 2025. Make sure you check your spam if you don't see an invite on that day. Also make sure you've given your child's school your current contact information, including a valid email.

Our first graders had a stem challenge to work with a partner to build the tallest tower that would hold the most letters! It was a great way to end our alphabet review!









One of the coolest things to see at ECC is when our older students choose to spend time with our younger ones. 💙 In second grade, students earn rewards for their hard work—and some choose the special reward of coming back to the younger classes to read stories. 📚✨ It’s such a sweet interaction watching our kids connect across grade levels and seeing how much the little ones look up to the “big kids.”



🎉📚 Alphabet Party Fun in 1st Grade! 📚🎉
Our first graders have been busy reviewing the alphabet and wrapped it up today with a super fun Alphabet Party! 🎈💡
Students came dressed to represent different letters — from A for Alien to Z for Zookeeper, and everything in between! 🛸👨🌾 The creativity was off the charts and the cuteness overload is REAL! 💖
Way to go, first graders! Learning has never looked so fun! 🥳🔤✨ #AlphabetParty #FirstGradeFun #ABCcelebration #LearningIsFun
