Thank you Floyd Schools for having us this year, it was exciting to have so many visitors from the community dressed up. Also a special thank you to everyone that donated their time and efforts to make this possible for the kids.

A great night of fun, music and honoring Mrs. Bossenberger at the seventh and eighth grade middle school Halloween band concert. Our students "rocked" it and did a "spooktacular" job.

BCEL welcomed our township firefighters and their really cool trucks for our fire drill this morning!!! We loved their visit!!! We even got to go up in the truck!!!!

Students in Mrs. Bradley‘s 5th grade class have been exploring Indigenous people groups, the diverse regions they lived in, and the resources available in each region. Students researched the homes built by these groups and constructed replicas of homes to model the resources and materials used. We love your creativity!

Midland Area Community Foundation’s Youth Impact Partnership hosted Leadership Day.  Representatives in 5th-12th grades from Midland County schools gathered at the BCHS Auditorium to learn about Sense of Purpose, Peer Relationships, and Self-Esteem.  They also had an opportunity to brainstorm plans for November’s Kindness Week.

Hats off to all the BCMS students who participated in our FIRST hat day of the school year! We had great participation with many unique and fun hats! Our next hat day is THIS Friday, October 27th. The cost is $1.00 to wear your hat all day and all proceeds go directly to the BCMS Annual Food Drive.

Miss Jen and Miss Karen from the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library recently visited the fourth graders at Pine River Elementary. Many of you already know about the free- and low-cost resources that the library has to offer, but did you know that adults can also check out board games, yard games, binge boxes, craft kits, discovery kits, and puzzles? They even have a telescope, hammock, and metal detector available! After that, the librarians showed the children how to search for items on the library's website: https://www.gadml.org/ Check it out!

On Thursday, October 5th, some of the BCMS Peer to Peer group met with other middle school and high school students around the county to celebrate this year's Kick-Off for our campaign. During the conference, members learned about mental health and illnesses, coping skills, and best practices for communicating with peers. This conference was a collaborative workshop that served as a planning session for students to discuss this year's topics. This year's topics will align with the Primary Assets: Positive Peers, Self-Esteem, and Sense of Purpose. The BCMS's Peer to Peer group is excited for this year's activities at the middle school.
