When Edgerton Explore It Center came to Bellwood Elementary for our Science Discovery Day, all grade levels participated in different labs. The 2nd through 5th grade students made stomp rockets and launched them on the playground. The 3rd through 5th grade students made spacesuits for their Mallonauts (marshmallows) and got to test to see if they were safe in a vacuum.
Thanks again to the Bellwood PTO for this amazing opportunity for our students.
During Bellwood Elementary's Science Discovery Day with Edgerton on the Move, grade levels participated in different labs and demonstrations. All preschool through 1st grade students participated in a density tubes lab where each student made their own lava tube. Preschool through 2nd grade students participated in a bubbles demonstration where many students got to go inside a bubble.
Thanks again to the Bellwood PTO for providing these opportunities for our students.
Bellwood Elementary had an "OUT OF THIS WORLD" final day of the 3rd quarter. Students and staff participated in a Science Discovery Day from Edgerton on the Move. Many of the activities had to do with outer space to go with our theme for the year. A BIG THANKS goes to the Bellwood PTO for funding this event and volunteering your time to make it happen.
During the Science Discovery Day there was an Explore it Zone set up in the gym and all students participated in two whole school demonstrations. During these demonstrations, many students were able to volunteer to help with the demonstration.

One of the ways that Bellwood Elementary celebrated Read Across America week was to have guest readers come in and read to the students. Teachers arranged for someone to come and read to their class and students had to try and guess who it was. Thanks to everyone who served as a guest reader this week. It was great having you at Bellwood Elementary! We appreciate you spending your time reading to our students.
For the final school day of Read Across America Week, Bellwood Elementary celebrated in Comfy Cosmic style. Students enjoyed wearing pajamas to school.
Congratulations to the following DCHS sophomores who were selected and chose to serve for prom on April 25: Danica F., Bella H.. Aaliyah H., Madie S., Kayla W., Caden S., & Nei Z. There will be a meeting Monday during access in Mrs. Backstrom's room.
Happy Read Across America Week from David City Elementary Part 2! 📚
Today’s dress-up day theme was “Dress Like a Future President” — and let me tell you, we have some very impressive leaders in the making! From sharp suits and patriotic colors to confident smiles and big dreams, our students and teachers showed up ready to lead.
We read Sophia Valdez, Future Prez by Andrea Beaty and talked about what it means to see a problem, dream big, and take action. After reading, students shared what they would do if they were president. We heard ideas about helping the homeless, making schools even better, protecting animals, creating more parks, and spreading kindness across the country.
The future is bright at David City Elementary! 💙❤️

Yesterday, a school-wide scavenger hunt brought together 8 teams to compete in a series of fun challenges. The final task—piecing together a puzzle—revealed the phrase “Welcome to NHS” along with the names of our new inductees. Congratulations to our 17 students, who will be officially inducted into the National Honor Society in a few weeks!
For Read Across America Week today, it was Starry Night/Galaxy Day at Bellwood Elementary. Students and staff wore dark clothing, yellow or white or clothes with planets and stars. It has been fun to celebrate reading!
