Our Children's Centers will be getting a new furry friend this year...

Meet Chewy, a curious little squirrel with a heart as big as the forest he calls home. Every day is a new adventure because Chewy believes the best discoveries begin with curiosity and connection especially in BCOE preschools.

Whether Chewy is climbing the tallest trees in search of treasures, greeting a new friend, or lending a helping paw to someone in need, Chewy is intentional in everything he does.

Chewy knows that the greatest treasures aren't always acorns or shiny stones—they're the friendships he builds, the kindness he shares, and the moments he creates with others. His thoughtful nature, adventurous spirit, and caring heart inspire everyone around him to slow down, be present, and look for ways to make someone else's day a little brighter.

Join Chewy as he explores in our classrooms along with our children and collects wonderful treasures, makes new friends, and discovers that being a "Super Friend" is the greatest adventure of all.

We can't wait for our children to meet him!

Our Great Start Butte educator newsletter is back for another school year! We kick off August focusing on routines and transitions. Check it out.
