Oh, The Amazing Things Our Granville County Public Schools Are Doing!
Butner Stem Elementary Is BOOMING!
5th-grade students at Butner-Stem Elementary were selected from a long waiting list of classes around the country to receive a donated set of The Walking Classroom. The students walked from the elementary school to the middle school listening to a Podcast on Henry Ford. After listening they made connections to our ELA unit on inventors.
At BSES, our students are exposed to all forms of learning including learning "outside" of the traditional classroom environment! We are ecstatic to be a part of The Walking Classroom! Learning is engaging and fun here at BSES!
--Way To Go, West Oxford!
A great time was had by all!

The Leaves They Are a-Changin’
With the autumnal equinox in late September, foliage season has officially begun across much of the United States. Check out our foliage map to see when different parts of the country reach their peak!
Why do leaves change colors? Did you know that fall’s vivid colors are actually hidden underneath summer’s green? The main reason for the color change is not autumn’s chilly weather, but light—or rather, the lack of it. The green color of leaves disappears when photosynthesis (from sunlight) slows down and the chlorophyll breaks down. Trees with a lot of direct sunlight will produce red leaves, while other trees may turn yellow, orange, or brown.
Joke Of The Month!
Q. What is a pumpkin’s favorite sport?
A. Squash!
