🎨🎩What a creative journey for Miss McNeil’s 3rd graders at Bickel Elementary! It all started in August when she asked her students to design the perfect hat for themselves by coloring a picture. Fast forward to November, and Miss McNeil’s friend worked magic by crocheting an interpretation of each student's unique design!
In December, the students received their one-of-a-kind hats and wore them home just in time to ring in the New Year in style! 🎉🎉

Commendation to Jaime Williams, Certified January Employee of the Month. Jaime is a Kindergarten Teacher at Bickel Elementary School.
Jaime is from Mars, Pennsylvania, and was born to teach. From her earliest memories, she loved to read and do math. She used to read encyclopedias and make up her own math problems. She played school with her siblings and friends and she spent much of her elementary years being a “Teacher Stalker”. She loved to help them grade papers and follow them all over. She draws inspiration from every person she ever called teacher and taught with, they all influenced and inspired her. She is described as supportive and she would like to be remembered as someone who always offered love and support. Her best day on the job is every day even the hardest days because something magical happens. She feels lucky to have the privilege to be an elementary school teacher. She loves socializing with friends and family. She doesn’t have a bucket list because she prefers to live each day to its fullest. After all, you don’t know what the future holds.
Principal Note:
Mrs. Williams, our incredible kindergarten teacher, brings a smile to work every single day, lighting up the school with her positivity and warmth. Always supportive, she goes above and beyond to uplift her students and colleagues, offering a listening ear and thoughtful advice whenever it’s needed. Know for her quick wit and sense of humor, Mrs. Williams never fails to share a funny story or amusing thought, brightening everyone’s day and reminding us all of the joy in teaching and learning.


Kudos to Michael Duke, January Classified Employee of the Month. Michael is the Head Custodian at Bickel Elementary
Michael is originally from Hansen Idaho and he likes to spend time with his wife outdoors, hiking, fishing, and riding ATVs. He says that he didn’t choose his career it chose him and his best day on the job is any day nothing goes wrong. He is described as responsible and he would like to be remembered as a hardworking and nice person. Someday he would like to visit an ancient archaeological site. One thing people do not know about him is that he has a master’s degree in information security and graduated with honors!
Principal Note:
Mr. Duke, our dedicated custodian, plays an essential role in keeping our school running smoothly and efficiently. A hard worker with an eagerness to learn and grow, he consistently seeks opportunities to improve and master his craft. His commitment to following through on projects is unmatched, and his attention to detail shows in everything he does. Always ready to lend a hand, Mr. Duke goes about and beyond to help with any task, making our school a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming place for everyone.
