March 8, 2017 |

| Even as work and activities in
the BCMS classrooms continued unabated,
students and staff were at the forefront
of doing the hard work necessary to
protect the school during February's
heavy snows. |

Boundary County Middle School
Boundary County Middle School student Emmet
Melior was recently crowned champion of our
Geography Bee. He now gets to compete at the
state level after also winning the regional
competition. We are always so proud of our
students’ achievement.
BCMS staff member Sara Anderson has been named
BCSD101 Certified Employee of the Month. Mrs.
Anderson is mainly our seventh grade math
teacher and it is not surprising she earned this
honor as several students and parents recently
called her the best teacher they have ever had.
We hope she continues her success.
BCMS Citizens of the Month for February have
been named. Taking home this month’s honors are
Morgan Moon (sixth grade), Wyatt Hart (seventh
grade), Hannah Facha (eighth grade), and Mrs.
Heigel (staff).
These individuals were recognized for their
caring spirit. We are proud of their
achievement.
In case you missed it, the January Citizens of
the Month were Mia Blackmore (sixth grade),
Ethan Hubbard (seventh grade), Mateya Falck
(eighth grade), and Mr. Miles (staff). They were
recognized for having the trait of fairness.
BCMS students recently competed in our annual
spelling bee. The sixth grade winners were Tyler
Stockdale (1st) and Morgan Moon (2nd). The
seventh grade winners were Camille Ussher (1st)
and Alana Branson (2nd). The eighth grade
winners were Regina Claphan (1st) and Lauren
Onstott (2nd). Congratulations to all the
competitors and thank you to all the volunteers
who make this event successful.
BCMS Robotics Team (Omega) had a very successful
year of competition. They hosted a competition
here at BCMS where they received the Robot
Design Award allowing them to move on to the
state competition in Moscow. There they received
the Judges’ Award, putting them as one of the
top teams in the State of Idaho.
Great work folks!
The BCMS Debate team also recently competed and
took home honors. The team travelled to Spokane
and competed in a mock trial event against
another debate team. While there, the team won
both of their sides of the mock trial and
several students were individually recognized as
well.
Alisa Hannaman was named best lawyer while Ally
Martin was named best witness. What a great
event and experience for those students!
BCMS recently hosted the 69th annual middle
school basketball tournament! In the tournament
we placed a variety of teams: eighth girls won
consolation, eighth boys placed second, and B
boys placed fourth. The tournament was a huge
success with many teams from northern Idaho and
western Montana competing in the event.
We had a large turnout of people to help us with
this event and we could not have done it without
them.
Meanwhile, Priest River hosted the seventh grade
tournament where our girls won consolation and
our boys placed fourth.
Before the tournament, BCMS Leadership students
produced a pep assembly for the school. They had
a variety of games and events including water
bottle flipping, knocking cups off a table using
balloon air, and trying to get an Oreo from your
forehead to your mouth without using your hands.
It was all a blast.
The cheerleaders led the school in the Badger
Stomp and also showed us a routine they had
worked hard on. All of our athletes were
recognized and everyone seemed to have a great
time.
BCMS also recently produced a Human Rights
Assembly put together by various groups and led
by Leadership students. It opened with a great
speech by Gary Aiken Jr. and included songs,
poetry and other experiences to celebrate
diversity and discuss human rights and
anti-bullying messages. We were proud of this
student-led event.
Our school’s good behavior recognition system,
known as Badger Pride Cards, is starting to
become coveted and popular. The staff created a
list of rewards the students could buy using the
cards and students seem to like several of the
rewards. The most popular reward is having Mr.
Miles walk them to Badger Den during lunch so
they can buy coffee and snacks.
Students at our school are currently
participating in “Hearts not Hurts,” where
students receive and then pass along wooden
hearts to help us all feel better about each
other and ourselves.
They will soon be participating in March Madness
while the staff takes part in March Gladness.
Come check out our halls and doors from the
March Madness contest on Wednesday, March 15. It
is always a sight to see the work students have
done to sell their college choices.
The last day of this quarter is March 30. The
last day to buy yearbooks is March 20.
Many of these achievements would not be possible
without your support. Thank you for continuing
to support education and our school, and please
remember to vote on March 14.
GO BADGERS!
