Part of the BW staff was in Sacramento for #AVIDSI19. With the focus being on student achievement they met as a site team in the Capitol Advisors conference room. They had a visit from Kevin Gordon and Jack O'Connell, former State Supt of Instruction. #1townschoolcommunity
After completing our STEM Summer School Program, #CampBlast19 with @csubted our students turned in tickets to win T-shirts from tech universities as well as @CSUBakersfield #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
Our next year's 7th and 8th graders visited the Long Beach Aquarium today. Thank you to Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. Turpin for spending time with the students in Long Beach and on the bus today. A good culminating activity for summer school. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
Thank you to the Bakersfield West Rotary for the $4,000 grant to #KEDF. It will help fund our Buttonwillow STEM Academy for our 5th-8th grade participants this year. Thank you Cheryl Scott at KEDF for working with our school district. #1townschoolcommunity
Our Roadrunners will be sporting new jerseys in all sports next year. There will be new Under Armour uniforms for boys and girls beginning in September with football and volleyball. Thank you Buttonwillow Foundation for the funds needed to get new uniforms. #1townschoolcommunity
Another great graduation in the books. Good luck to the BW Class of 2019. Thanks to all those who helped make the event successful and overcome some concerns at the start of the day. We are #BWRunners. #1townschoolcommunity
At BW we focus on relationships and creating a positive learning environment. Miss Contreras models this each day. When she graduated from @CSUBakersfield last week with a Masters in C & I, 12 of her 7th grade students attended. #1townschoolcommunity @csubted #culturize
A new tradition at Buttonwillow. Our former 8th grade grads from @shafter_high came back to BW to walk the halls and talk next steps that included trade school, JC, and/or 4 year university. @General_Pride #1townschoolcommunity @KHSD_Official @AVID4College

Parent participation and involvement is critical to student success. Today we recognized parents who have contributed assistance in the classroom this year. Thank you for finding the time to assist your child's teacher and for making education a priority. #1townschoolcommunity
Tonight was our Kindergarten celebration. The students performed well and the parents loved it. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
These 3 and 4 year olds from our two preschool classes are cute no matter what they do. They looked the Superintendent in the eye and shook his hand when they got their certificates of completion at tonight's program. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
When teachers devote their lives to students great things happen at school and in the classroom. On behalf of Buttonwillow School, the School Board, and the staff we congratulate Mrs. Caulfield and Mrs. Ghilarducci on their retirements. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
BW's goal is to open students to possibilities. As we share universities throughout the year, we recognize the military is also a means to learn about options for their future. This month's gear is from the military academies. #1townschoolcommunity #bw2college @AVID4College
Our BW 6th graders have been enjoying a great week at Camp KEEP. They have enjoyed the Central Coast beach and outdoor education. #1townschoolcommunity #bwexperience
