| 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 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.

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!
