Breese School District

We are beyond proud to celebrate Mrs. Jansen for being named the Agriculture in the Classroom Teacher of the Year for the entire state of Illinois! This incredible honor recognizes the passion, dedication, and hard work Mrs. Jansen puts into educating students about agriculture and the important role it plays in our everyday lives. District #12 is so fortunate to have her as one of our amazing educators!💜🎉

Happy Boss's Day to our leaders at D12! Thank you to Dr. Ketchum, Mrs. Schilling, and Mrs. Jones for all that they do, including the things that often go unnoticed or unrecognized. Their dedication makes a difference, and the time and energy they pour into our schools do not go unappreciated! 🐾💜

Please empty out the backpacks tonight! There are a lot of important items in there!

Throwback Thursday! Our students and staff had a blast taking it back to the 80s and 90s for our day 3 dress-up day!

More pictures from our "Teachers dress as students and students dress as teachers" dress-up theme!

Calendar Reminders

What a season for our Cross Country team! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️❤️ We are SO proud of this group and all the hard work, dedication, and heart they put into this season. While our teams came up just short of advancing to State, it was an incredibly close finish and a season full of so many accomplishments to celebrate! A HUGE congratulations to our three individual runners who punched their tickets to State! 🎉👏 We are so proud of you and can’t wait to cheer you on as you represent our team at State!

Bobcat Cross Country competed in the Run of the Pines Cross Country meet last week. With over 1400 runners from across the state we are super proud of our three medalists! Carlee - 5th grade girls race Colin - 5th grade boys race Payzli - 8th grade girls race Now onto Regionals today at Wesclin!

‼️Lost & Found- Breese Building‼️ We’re currently hosting a giant, unintentional clothing drive in our front lobby! If you're missing jackets, sweatshirts, or lunchboxes, please come check the Lost and Found before it takes over the building. We will continue to put a few items on announcements each day, but we seem to accumulate more than we get rid of each day. 🙃 Our Lost and Found is located right inside the main entrance.

Congratulations to our September Students of the Month! 🎉 Our focus words for September were kindness and respect. At Beckemeyer, students took on daily challenges and mini-lessons to learn practical ways to build these traits into their everyday routines. We are so proud of our honorees for leading by example! 😊 Thank you for making D12 a better place! 💜

The kindergarten students have been working hard on learning to open their milk cartons on their own!
Today, they were rewarded for their hard work!

Snack time just got a whole lot sweeter! Our kiddos are hard at work running Bobcat Bites, learning real-world skills like counting money, stocking inventory, and practicing social skills while serving up treats. It has quickly become the highlight of their day and ours! 🍭🍪🥤

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Girls Basketball Team on taking 3rd place in the St. Rose Tournament today! 🎉 Great work, girls! We are so proud of you! 💜

✨ Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! ✨

Behind every clean room, spotless hallway, and smoothly running day is a dedicated custodial team working tirelessly to keep our community safe, healthy, and welcoming.

They are often the first to arrive and the last to leave—tackling big projects and quiet details alike with dedication and care. Today, we want to shine a well-deserved spotlight on these everyday heroes! 🧹🧽✨
