Already midterm at BFHS |

December 13, 2017 |
By Principal Kevin Dinning
We are cruising through the year at Bonners
Ferry High School! I struggle to believe it is
already midterm of second quarter, and we are
quickly approaching the midpoint of the school
year. I am proud of the staff and students at
BFHS. Great work is happening here.
Our greenhouse is up, and we are excited to be
working out the last few hurdles to put the
finishing touches on that project. We would not
have seen this project carried out if it was not
for the hard work of our Ag and FFA students and
staff. We owe a huge thank you to all those who
were part of fundraising efforts that allowed
the purchase of this building. We appreciate all
of the community support, and we look forward to
using the greenhouse to prepare students and to
benefit the community.
A big thanks to the FFA Alumni for their
contribution and support. We are grateful to
have a such an amazing resource in the
greenhouse, and we are honored to be a focus of
community support. We could not have done it
without you!
Counseling has requested that if any students
are interested in Dual Credit, those students
need to see Mrs. Mackey ASAP. Mrs. Anderson and
Mrs. Mackey are working hard to meet with
students and get course requests for next year.
When those course request forms are distributed
to students, they need to by signed by their
parent/guardian.
We are well into our winter sports seasons, and
I am impressed with all our teams. If you have
not been out to a basketball game or a wrestling
match, I encourage you to do so. We have seen
some great competition this winter.
There are many opportunities before our winter
break to interact with our students outside of
athletics, and I hope to see you at some of
them. Some noteworthy opportunities to attend:
• Band Concert on December 14 at 7 p.m. in the Becker Auditorium.
• BFHS Parent/Teacher Conferences on December 18 from 4:45 to 7:15 p.m.
• Choir Concert on December 18 at 7 p.m. in the Becker Auditorium.
Don’t forget! We are collecting ham/turkey
donations to give to those who need them. We are
looking to collect 100, and we will take any
frozen turkey or ham donations to the high
school on December 21. They will be distributed
over the holiday.
Other noteworthy happenings:
• National Honor Society is putting on a Holiday Craft Sale for Valley
View Students on December 21; make sure you
thank an NHS member for their work with the
Valley View Students. We love to see our
students give back.
• BFHS Independent and Advanced Art Students are submitting work to the
University of Idaho State Wide Art Show.
Scholarships and awards are on deck for our
students that enter. The show takes place
February 23, and our students have received
second, third and honorable mention honors in
the past.
• Robotics Kickoff for the 2018 Season is January 6 at 7:30 a.m, in the
Robotics Center. All are welcome. The high
school team supported at the FIRST Lego League
Qualifying Tournament last weekend. Both Middle
School teams now advance to state, and it was
another wonderful example of support from the
high school.
Lastly, we have a great group of staff members
at BFHS.
BFHS teachers are putting in hard work and
striving for excellence. We are committed to
reducing the number of Fs, providing instruction
that drives learning and graduating high level
citizens. Our teachers are committed to seeing
this vision carried out, and I am grateful for
their hard work and commitment.
Happy Holidays to all of you. We will see you on
the other side of the New Year! |
