BNFF vs. Lincoln North Star Swim Results

Both the girl’s and boy’s teams came away with a win tonight against Lincoln North Star. The girls are currently undefeated in their dual competitions. We have a lot of depth and many talented swimmers on both our boys and girls teams.  Everyone has contributed greatly to our successes this season.  This has been a tough week for the team, many were not able to practice at all this week due to the weather, and some only were able to have one practice this week.

Our swimmers work very hard at practice and many have goals to qualify and improve their times before the state meet.  We have asked a lot from both the girl’s and our boy’s teams, to step out of their comfort zones and try new events

Many have shown strong leadership skills, some of them are: Seniors, Josi Mans, Averi Kolb, Hannah Essink, Bri Knothe, Noah Bratt,  Juniors:, Laci Havlat, Ian Scheele, Kolton Kirchhoff, Jaidyn Vanschoiack, Linnea Edeal, Erika Kroecker, and many others that are also willing to swim whatever events the team needs filled.

When It’s Snowing, There’s Only One Thing to Do

In Art class first graders listened to the picturebook Snowballs, by Lois Ehlert, and were inspired to create their own snowman collages. On the first day, students painted beautiful watercolor resist backgrounds (using white crayons to draw snowflakes) and sprinkled the wet, painted paper with salt which created a speckled texture. The next class period students chose from a variety of materials to make their own unique snowman. As you can see, the boys and girls were very proud of their masterpieces!

It was nice to come away with a win for both the girl’s and boy’s team tonight.The girls are currently undefeated in their dual competitions. We have a lot of depth and many talented swimmers on the team this season. So, we are able to have many swimmers compete in different events, and that contributed greatly to our success. But, having many other athletes to help us fill all the events and spread out the points has also contributed to the girls and boys team success. Also, having swimmers and divers who are willing to compete in different events helped us achieve the win, 29 personal best swims, 16 first place finishes and 12 second place finishes.

Taste Testing

Fifth grade students did a “test tasting” in science. They designed investigations to determine whether items they can’t see in water are still present.
They had to test sugar, salt, vinegar and lemon juice. They took a little sip of each without water added and then again with water added. They recorded their findings.
From these investigations, students used the evidence to suggest that they are still in the water and just cannot be seen.

Valentines for Veterans

Some valentine love might be needed even more this year than in past years. As they approach Valentine’s Day, students aren’t forgetting the men and women who serve our country. They have been hard at work creating Valentines for Veterans.  This is a special anniversary year for the Valentines for Veterans project…the 10th anniversary. The program has grown from approximately 400 the first year to over 1,400 last year.
The veterans are always very appreciative of receiving the valentines.
