Summer is now upon us here at BCMS. We have had
a great time this year and ended with lots of
activities and awards. Let’s take some time to
recognize the many great students, programs, and
activities we ended with at BCMS.
This year’s recipient of the President’s Award
for Educational Excellence was Regina Claphan.
She was one of several eighth grade students who
maintained a 4.0 all through middle school.
Regina had the highest ISAT scores from that
list of students.
Mrs. Hanna’s Playing Test award was given to
Jordan Freeman-Jehn. He earned this award by
playing the most songs by himself without
mistakes.
May’s Citizens of the Month for the trait of
respect were Emma Lucas (6th), Brady Hinthorn
(7th), Ella Huggins (8th), and Mr. Bonnell
(staff). Citizens of the month are chosen by
vote of the staff.
BCMS hosted a talent show recently. With lots of
very talented middle school students it was a
tough call to declare the winners. The judges
were a panel of three students, one from each
grade level, and they scored the various acts on
a 1-10 scale. The groups/acts with the most
points were declared the winners and each
group/act placing received $25.
This years’ winners were: 3rd place – the
gymnastics routine of Marianne Pinkerton, Lexi
Maas, Eika Willis and Kelly Moellmer; 2nd place
– the comedy act of Jaden Byars and Alena Oyler;
and 1st place – the singing performance of Emma
Pinkerton and Aleah Jones.
Elections were held for 8th graders to determine
next years’ student council officers. The
results were: Media Officer – Alisa Hannaman,
Treasurer – Ally Martin, Secretary – Jacob
Clark, Vice-President – Emmet Melior and
President – Mallory McLeish.
Fifteen eighth grade students became discovery
members of the high school FFA. Sierra Hill,
Jack Romero, Richard Rossi, Marianne Pinkerton,
Lillian Merritt, Mallory McLeish, Sadie Hill,
Mateya Falck, Avery Pluid, Sydnee Blevins,
Jenyka Regehr, Rikki Cowin, Macenzie Brown,
Kylie Underhill and Natalie Adams. With this
many discovery degrees awarded, we became one of
the largest discovery programs in the state.
Reality Town was once again successful. Thanks
to many volunteers and the coordination of Mr.
Garrison, 8th grade students were able to get
jobs and spend some time living life from a
financial standpoint. They earned money from
their jobs, paid bills, and tried to determine
the best choices to have money left at the end
of each month. It looked like fun and a great
learning experience.
Eighth grade students also enjoyed the 8th Grade
Olympics, 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony, 8th
Grade Promotion Dance, 8th Grade trip to
Silverwood along with final benchmark tests
during their last days of school. I bet they are
both excited and worried to be moving on to the
high school.
Seventh grade students enjoyed their annual boat
races at Snow Creek and some down time along
with benchmark testing during their last days of
school. They will now be the seasoned veterans
of the middle school when they return next year.
Sixth grade students enjoyed a field trip to the
Wildlife Refuge and Fairgrounds before
participating in the egg drop. They now have a
year down in the books and should be ready for
academic push next year.
Our final band concert of the year went great
with several students recognized for band
achievements and awards. Our final choir concert
also went well with many people in the
auditorium to hear students sing.
Our track team ended very successful with all
teams getting first in their divisions except
one, who managed to still get second place. We
were proud of their hard work this year.
Ag science ended their class by planting some
apple trees on the property. I can’t wait to eat
some of the apples they produce in the near
future!
Some art students recently had the privilege of
visiting Gizmo in Coeur d Alene, where they
learned about Automata. Using ingenuity along
with cranks and cams, they made creations with
moving parts.
