Floyd 3rd graders are learning ways to defend and protect Michigan. They took the opportunity to walk around our school and pick up trash. ♻️🗑️🍃
This week our school counselors attended day one of a three year professional development journey to grow our capacity to lead a continuous and sustainable school counseling program across Bullock Creek.
Bullock Creek Middle School students received a special message from magician and motivational speaker, Anthony Grupido. His story, The Magic of Hope, was told through magic and discussed important topics such as: resilience and coping with challenges, healthy ways to manage symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, the importance of asking for help by using school and community resources and finding hope during difficult times. This event was put on in collaboration with BCMS’s PeerLIFT program and Community Mental Health for Central Michigan. Students showed their support for Suicide Awareness and Prevention by wearing purple and teal today.

Students in Mrs. Parson's Nature Exploration class had some fun with apples this past week. They were able to run 2 different cider presses and make cider, prep apples for applesauce and plant the seeds that they collected.
Sixth grade student council campaigning at BCMS is in full swing! Students will vote for the four representatives this Friday. Awesome job with your creative and convincing posters!
The Pine River Elementary runners had a beautiful morning for a run at the Delta Invitational. Two runners ran 2 miles and the others ran 3/4 of a mile. They all ran hard and finished strong!
Congratulations BC Varsity!
Our Midland Township fire department is holding their open house today across from BCEL from 10-2pm. Stop by to enjoy all the firetrucks and fun activities!!
On Thursday, September 18, 2025, some of Bullock Creek Middle School's 8th grade PeerLIFT students attended the annual Kickoff Event at Bullock Creek High School. These students joined other middle school and high school PeerLIFT students around Midland County planning this year's themes and activities. The day was filled with a lot of energy, team-work and positivity. The goal of our PeerLIFT program is to educate students on mental health issues and promote a culture in our building and community where students feel safe and comfortable to ask for help.
💫 Big shoutout to two amazing boys from Ms. Murray’s class! 💫
They’ve been working so hard to grow as readers—and the best part is what great buddies they are along the way. 🤝 They cheer each other on and celebrate every win together.
Today, they both did an incredible job sharing their passages and even came to my office to read to me. Listening to them was the absolute highlight of my day! 📚💙
Way to go, readers!! Keep up the hard work—we are so proud of you! 👏👏
Mrs. Martin’s physics students measuring their reaction time with only a meter stick.
After reading the short story “Pancakes” by Joan Bauer, Mrs. Clare’s 3rd hour Honors English class took the lesson off the page. They whipped up their own pancakes—embracing the messy, imperfect fun (unlike Jill, our perfectionist protagonist). Literature tastes better with syrup!
Students in Mr. Wright's English 6 class are currently doing a novel study. Students are partner reading to create a strong and positive classroom culture while increasing student fluency and prosody.
🐢💚 The kids at BCEL made some tiny new friends today! During nature time, students had the chance to carefully handle and observe baby turtles up close. The excitement, curiosity, and gentle care they showed was priceless. What a special way to connect with nature! 🌿✨
The 4th graders at Pine River are kicking off Creek Week at the Chippewa Nature Center! This week, they’re exploring survival skills. Yesterday’s adventures included practicing compass skills and building different types of shelters like tarp shelters, debris huts, and lean-tos.
