By Principal David Miles II
Sixth grade electives at Boundary County Middle
School have rotated. All sixth
graders have an elective class at the end of the
day. Those who are in band stay in band all
year, but the other three groups (PE, Art,
Health) have now rotated after spending the
first third of the year in another elective.
It's cold but BCMS
students still go outside for social time/lunch
recess! Please make sure your children have
proper clothing to accommodate this! Thank you.
Please thank our students for raising $1,085.33
for the Wounded Warrior Project. Students
voluntarily participated in a “Penny War” event
Congratulations to Ryne Rae for receiving
“Honorable Mention” recognition in the Idaho
Forest Products Commission Essay Contest. You

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
tutoring will be available soon. Thanks to a
grant for Gear-Up, we will soon offer tutoring
two nights a week. The tutoring will primarily
focus on eighth grade STEM, but will also be
available to help others as practical.
Students in need? We have a collection of
hygiene items for those students who are in need
of them. The efforts of the Coalition for
Children and Families Phoenix Project will be
providing these items via our school. If you are
in need of such items, or know of others who are
in need, please contact a teacher, principal, or
counselor at BCMS to access these items.
BCMS students will be performing a Holiday
Concert at 10 a.m. at the high school auditorium
December 13.
BCMS students will be competing in a school wide
Geography Bee on December 18. This is sponsored
by National Geographic and winners have the
potential to go to Boise and compete at a higher
level.
To accompany the activity day planned for
December 19 (the last day before winter break),
the student council has planned a dodgeball
tournament. Permission slips must be signed and
turned in to the office before anyone can play.
ACT testing for eighth graders will be on
January 15. This is part of the Gear Up Program.
