The purpose of this project “Friday Flicks” is to pull back the curtain to showcase the variety of activities and projects available to students, giving community members a look at some of the great things going on in our schools.

This series is managed by high school student Addi Grosc, who serves as the communications intern for the district.

Careers, finances, and a ton of fun! The 6th and 8th graders had the opportunity to go to Junior Achievement of Central Iowa to visit JA Biztown and Finance Park! Not only did these students have a blast, they also learned valuable life skills that will last a lifetime. Check out this short video to learn more about their day!

With the help of the Heartland AEA and Title III funding, the district partnered with the Bondurant Public Library and the City of Bondurant to host a parent and family engagement event aimed at supporting the education of English learners within our schools and connecting these families to local resources within the community. This family friendly event, organized by BF’s Kristin Maffin who serves as the District School Improvement Leader and English Learner Coordinator, was a success, and we’re so appreciative of everyone who worked together to make this possible for our Bluejay families!

Lunch is bunches of fun with this tradition! Ms. Daly has lunch in the classroom with her kindergartners every Friday! Helping build connections with students outside of learning and forming their own little family! 

Our intermediate school now has a Scrapbooking Club, for the 5th and 6th graders! Led by Ms. Pfaffe, it's all about creativity, memories, and making connections with your peers. Take a peak at them, crafting some unforgettable moments together!

Have you ever seen space up close? These 4th graders have! Thanks to the Science Center of Iowa, they were given the chance to sit in a StarLab which projects the moon and stars on the ceiling to create the illusion of being in space. The students had tons of fun and the learning was out of this world!

Pizza perfection! Developmental Kindergarten cooked up some mini pizzas in their very own pizzeria! The students have been learning about how a restaurant works and put these skills to work to give their families a five star dining experience!

What a crazy day for the 1st graders! The morning started off strong with the zoo bringing a porcupine and an owl for the kids to see! The afternoon was also filled with fun, with several community members coming in to talk with the students about their jobs! This was a super fun way to learn about their current and upcoming units, “Our Town” and “Animal Habitats”!

Exciting day for the 8th grade class! Future freshman night gave them the opportunity to explore clubs and activities at the BFHS. Our admin shared crucial high school insights and a few current students shared their experiences in high school! 

The students, in the Teacher academy class, rocked a two-day session with third-graders, diving into the “How to Catch a Snowman” book. They didn't just read—they crafted lesson plans, problem-solved, and became awesome mentors. Their plans included reading the book, a worksheet, and an activity where students build their very own snowman!

Check this out! The Seniors in AP Spanish class just held a debate about graffiti and street art. The class was split into opposing groups, one advocating for graffiti and the other opposing it as art. And get this—they did it all in Spanish! From the preparation to the debate the students communicated completely in Spanish!

The Advanced Art students have been working hard to recreate famous art pieces. With a splash of creativity and a variety of techniques they put their own unique spin on the artwork! Take a peek at their masterpieces! 

1st graders at Morris Elementary rocked the parade route with their Bee-Bot Robots and handmade floats in yesterday’s Mini Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade! From crafting floats to coding navigation, these students honed skills in problem-solving, creativity, and communication. Their excitement was off the charts for this one-of-a-kind learning opportunity!
