Mrs. Studebaker’s second grade mathematicians have been practicing with fractions. What better way than to practice with something that they get to enjoy after!
Additional pictures from Staff Appreciation week! We are so thankful for our PTA!
It's Staff Appreciation Week!!! A wonderful week of appreciation for all of the hard work and dedication of all of our staff! Our staff is the BEST, bar none! Today was a Bagel Bar for breakfast!
Thank you to all who donated snacks and goodies this week! Special thanks to our PTA parent, Alex Arlis, for organizing it all!
The students in Mrs. Studebaker’s class have been asking the question:
How do whales spend their lives surviving frigid water?
The young biologists discovered that a whale's secret is blubber, a thick layer of body fat. The students replicated the cold-weather adaptation of blubber with “The Blubber Glove” experiment! The second graders compared the temperature of the icy water by placing their hands in the water to feel the actual temperature. They then compared the temperature mimicking a whale. Their discoveries were “whaley” amazing!
Staff had some March Madness fun of their own by participating in the 1st Annual Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament! Congratulations to Ms. Miller- she is the Champion!

Our Kindergarten classes have started their animal studies in science. Each student chooses an animal to research, creates a poster, and gets to be the teacher for a lesson. The lessons add variety and interest to the end of the school year. They keep the students engaged, and are a great educational experience! Our little explorers are off to a great start so far!

Dear Bourbonnais Elementary School District Families,
Due to the winter storm forecasted to impact our area, we will be implementing a Schedule A – Early Dismissal for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025, to prioritize the safety of our students and staff. While we cannot predict the weather with certainty, the current forecast provides enough data to warrant precautionary measures, and we appreciate your cooperation and patience.
Schedule A - 3 Hour Release:
Liberty: 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM
BUGC: 8:05 AM – 11:10 AM
Shabbona: 8:10 AM – 11:10 AM

We understand that this may be a disruption to family schedules, but we hope that providing this information early allows for necessary preparations to be made.
At this time, we anticipate that school will be in regular session on Thursday, February 13, 2025. As a reminder, we only send out communications if there is a change to the normal school schedule. Since we currently expect a regular school day on Thursday, no additional communication will be sent unless adjustments are necessary.
We will assess road conditions after the storm, and if any changes to the schedule are needed, we will notify families as soon as possible.
Please stay safe, use caution while traveling, and thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Adam Ehrman
