Hills-Beaver Creek ISD #671

At the beginning of April the 5th graders were asked to participate in a Robot Design Contest by Millennium Recycling out of Sioux Falls, SD. Each student was given the task to come up with their own creative design and name for the robot. There were over 200 entries from different schools. The winner was announced on Earth Day last week Monday. HBC 5th Grader Laney Top was the winner with her unique design and name, "SPUD". She also won the class a tour of the Millennium Recycling Facility which included donuts and a t-shirt for all the 5th graders!" Elite work Laney!

Congrats to our HBC JV Trap team for winning 1st place at the Border Battle last night at Garretson Sportsmen Club! Great works HBC! #hbctrap

The last few weeks the 5th grade class has been learning about entrepreneurship and what factors all go into developing a business model. Today students dove into the “Shark Tank” and gave their pitch for their business/product to a group of special sharks looking to strike a deal and make an investment! Some came away with a deal and others will be going on their own. Next week Friday the students will sell their product at the 2024 Entrepreneur Fair!

Friday will be here before we know it! Hope to see you at the Rollerskating party!

Today H-BC honors our principals and thanks them for all that they do to keep the buildings running. Thanks Mr. Holthaus and Mr. Kellenberger! “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful Lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s Not.” – Dr. Seuss
