A Celebrity Siting...
A teacher siting outside the classroom is a paparazzi moment. These young ladies were thrilled to see Mrs. Ventresca, 2nd grade teacher at NHUF, earlier this football season.
She definitely had an IMPACT!

Attention: All 8th Grade Students - 2023-2024 Writing Contest
The Boyertown Bulletin is sponsoring a writing contest for all eighth graders. We ask that you share this information with your eighth graders and encourage them to enter this contest. Their ELA teacher will have this information as well.
2023 Writing Contest rules:
1. The contest began on October 23, 2023, with the deadline for submission on January 8, 2024. We want to present certificates and prizes to the winning students in late February or early March at a date agreeable to both the judges and the school. Last year, the judges went to the schools and personally announced the winners and gave them a certificate of achievement plus their prizes.
2. This contest is open to all eighth-grade students in The Boyertown Area School District. (Eighth-grade Oley Valley School District students will also participate in this contest. Each School (Oley Valley Middle School, Boyertown East, and Boyertown West) will be judged individually.)
3. The written stories are to be the sole work of the student and may be on any topic they desire.
4. Stories should not exceed 500-600 words.
5. Stories will only be judged on the content of the story. The judges will not judge grammar, spelling, or punctuation. However, at their discretion, the judges may consider grammar, spelling, and punctuation in the event of a tie.
6. We will not accept stories that are not appropriate, such as stories containing vulgarity or explicit sexuality.
7. Stories should be submitted to the student’s ELA teacher, who will send them to me to forward to the judges. Please submit stories as a Word Document. We prefer stories not to be submitted in PDF because they must be copied and sent to the other judges.
8. The Boyertown Bulletin requests written permission from the parent(s) or guardian(s) of each student who is entering the contest. Permission will be for the student’s name (first and last), photo, and story to be published in a future edition of The Boyertown Bulletin. A permission form is attached to this email. The permission form should be submitted directly to me at patmoser102@gmail.com. Please do not submit the permission form to the school.
If you have any questions about the contest or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,

BCIU Music Presentation Features BASD Elementary Music Recruiters
Email Written by Michael Jordan, BASD Related Studies Coordinator and MSW Director of Bands - October 10, 2023
Leadership Team-
On Monday, October 9, 2023, the BASD music staff attended the BCIU common in-service for music at Muhlenberg Jr. High School. Our fabulous elementary band directors, Kathy Mumie and Steve Yoder, were asked to present a session to their Berks county colleagues regarding the recruitment process for Boyertown’s elementary band program.
Kathy and Steve provided detailed information about the in-school assemblies that happen at all six elementary schools, Meet the Instrument Night where students try out and select an instrument, and the parent lessons where the students and their parents learn the first steps to success on a band instrument.
Their presentation generated a lot of insightful discussion with music teachers in other districts, and it was remarkable to hear all of the comments from music teacher colleagues about the fantastic things that we have happening in Boyertown. Kathy and Steve were very generous as they shared all of the organizational details and documents of Boyertown’s band recruitment program that they have developed over many years.
Kathy Mumie and Steve Yoder typically fly under the radar as they shuttle from building to building to work with our 4th and 5th grade band students. The effort, energy, and organizational detail that they devote to recruiting students and giving them high quality instruction is the foundation of our band program. If you can find them, please take a moment to congratulate this fantastic duo on a job well done!
Congratulations! #BASDMusicRocks
