Haveyou heard the buzz?

Welcome to Byron-Bergen Central School’s eNewsletter! Stay in the loop of school news and updates.

Welcome back to a unique year at B-B!

Wilderness Survival
Mr. Hannan and Mrs. Gray’s Junior High students are continuing their Outdoor Education curriculum by building debris huts. The one-person shelters are designed to protect the occupant from the elements if lost in the woods or unable to return to camp.
Students worked in groups to secure a ridgepole and ribbing. Next week, the students will insulate their structure and one member of each team will climb inside and test it for comfort and stability.

Great work, everyone!

				

Social Emotional Learning

Elementary School Counselor Jenna Voos met with the in-person first grade students for a special social emotional learning (SEL) presentation. Students learned how to greet each from six feet away. They watched a video then practiced while playing Simon Says—great work, everyone! Air high-five!

Thumbs up!

Air hug!
