Boundary County Middle School
Our
Penny War fundraiser was a fantastic success!
Through the efforts of our students and the
competitive nature of our school, we were able
to raise $1,517.40 to donate to local
organizations. The money was split and checks
given to the local Legion and VFW chapters.BCMS celebrated Veteran’s Day a day early by hosting local veterans and treating them to a celebration of their service. Students and staff welcomed our veterans while sharing a message dedicated to thanking veterans for their sacrifice. A huge thank you to the community volunteers who helped put this together as well as the many students who worked to make this event successful.
Most of all, thank you to the veterans who have served our country!
Debate class has been debating their topics. Students are doing a fantastic job gathering resources and evidence to support their claim and learning how to find faults in others’ arguments. Great job students.
We met our goal for the Book Fair! We sold $2240.22 worth of merchandise, which means I will soon allow some lucky person to throw a pie in my face. Great job staff and students of encouraging reading and getting involved with the various Book Fair activities!
