This year, BCMS Staff are taking a moment to recognize students who are leaders in and out of the classroom, show effort in their schoolwork and activities, have a positive attitude toward staff and classmates, and are dependable -- a student that they can count on. Each month nine students will be recognized as Lancers Who LEAD. September Lancers Who LEAD are as follows: Bella Schindel, Nev Weideman, Jerry Haines, Ashlynn Masar, Matthew Samsel, Gabe Johnson, Gavin Hockstra, Morgan Allen and Logan Hanley.

The remaining 5 presentations will highlight Arts and Communication, Engineering/Manufacturing and Industrial Technology, Human Services, Health Sciences, and Natural Resources and Agriscience.

To help with understanding of the interior structure of the earth, Mr. Pfeiffer's 6th grade students used a template to organize the layers. They used math to calculate the ratio of each layer compared to the whole and converted each ratio to centimeters to plot on their templates. Each wedge shaped model was then glued together to form a very educational version of the earth.
