Pamyua is Alaska’s most famous Inuit band!
Their performances honor and share indigenous Inuit cultural traditions through ceremony and songs passed down through generations. Their unique performances blend traditional Inuit drum/dance melodies with contemporary R&B and soul music, often referred to as “tribal funk” or “Inuit soul.”
On Tuesday, we were fortunate to have Pamyua visit BEA Elementary School,; students enjoyed learning about the inuit culture through music and were able to see the similarities and differences to their own culture.
We are grateful for the enriching experience of welcoming individuals from different cultures, expanding our horizons and deepening our understanding of the world around us. 🌍🤝

Miss. Mandler's Career Prep class completed a Mock Interview Experience with professionals in the community from KBEW, First Bank Blue Earth, Nortech, McDonalds, Faribault County Register, and CEDA. This class is designed to prepare our BEA students for life after high school where they learn about the job search, schooling options, the workforce, resumes, cover letters, the interview experience, and many more topics! The students did a great job of explaining their skills and life experiences that have prepared them for a career. A huge thank you to these professionals that helped us today!

🎨📚Rick Chrustowski, author and illustrator of children's books such as Bee Dance and My Little Fox, made a visit to Blue Earth Area Elementary School this week, where he talked to the audience about how he finds his book inspirations in nature and how a book is written from start to finish. It's also a special treat that the school library now has a drawing of a hummingbird from his visit, serving as a lasting reminder of the event.
You can find our more about this author on his website at https://www.rickchrustowski.com/ and you can check out his books by visiting our area libraries.

Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes who keep our spaces clean and welcoming.
Our custodians operate behind the scenes, and they are often under-appreciated for the hard work they do day after day. Thank you, custodial workers, for turning chaos into order, and for making our world a brighter, more beautiful place. We recognize that you are the ones who respond first to our emergencies, and we see you taking care of our buildings and spaces, as well as the people in them. Thank you for all you do! ❤️💛

📸Don't forget! School picture day is tomorrow--Tuesday, October 3!
Over 6,000 dedicated officials serve Minnesota's high schools, ensuring fair, safe, and enjoyable contests.
Varsity-level officials must register with the League, attend training, and devote significant time to prepare and travel. High school officiating is a passion, not a profession, pursued alongside full-time jobs. Officials work for the enjoyment of staying involved with the sports they love and the opportunity to give back.
They play a crucial role in imparting life lessons through athletics, enforcing fair rules, and upholding behavior standards for successful high school events.
This week at Blue Earth Area Schools, we "Thank a Ref" and encourage you to show your appreciation for the hard work and dedication that our referees and umpires model for our students and communities.
