Ms. Redmer shared that students would be making their elective requests next week when 6th graders come back for their next visit. Please talk to your 6th grade student about their preferences. Requests are not guaranteed, but they do build the master schedule.

The 3rd quarter end date has been moved to March 21st. This is because we had so many days off due to weather cancellations. This will allow the marking periods to be more balanced. If you have any questions, please contact your student's building administrator.

Jr/Sr:

• Multiple field trips happened this week. A group of students visited the Holocaust museum on Wednesday to related to their book in their ELA class. Lastly, CACC was able to share opportunities for our students as they look into scheduling for next year.

• BHS physics classes took to the slopes on Monday at Bittersweet for a ski lesson and some physics. In class, we’ve been analyzing energy transformations and conservation involved in different sports and this was a great opportunity to experience real-world applications and have a great time! Students had small group lessons from the Bittersweet ski school in the morning and then a chance to “graduate” to explore the upper mountain to test their skills. I’m so proud of them for trying something new and having a great attitude - what a great group of kids!! Thank you Mr. S. Morgan for helping us out and Austin in transportation for getting us there and back safely. Thank you, Mrs. Brophy.

• Please join our After School Tutoring additional help or support with any of your classwork. Let us help you. Snacks included too!
• Ms. Miller was able to organize the 6th graders visit to the Jr/Sr high school twice this week. They received a tour of classes, experienced expectations of the Jr/Sr high, and learned about scheduling and athletics. The students we extremely well behaved, and staff is excited about the new group coming up to us.
• Bronco Stampede Celebrations so far: Collins, Brininstool, Garvison, Thompson, Haubert, Slater, Miller, Brophy, H. Morgan, Kissinger, and Smith. Please keep encouraging your students that attendance matters! We want more celebrations!

• A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff who made the past Literacy week and night absolutely amazing. Your dedication gave a meaningful experience to our students. Thank you. Truly.

• A special treat was in store for the students as Mrs. Louiselle, the mother of Miss Ellie, visited classrooms to read her newly written children’s book, Sometimes I Feel. The excitement was apparent as students eagerly gathered to listen to the heartfelt story, a labor of love from Mrs. Louiselle.

• We are excited to share that our 2nd and 3rd grade students, along with their teachers, Lorrie, Adrionah, and Ashley, attended the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra’s annual Youth Concert at Miller Auditorium on the Western Michigan University campus.

• This past week, our 6th grade students had the exciting opportunity to visit the Jr. High School twice for a special tour and introduction to the school. This visit was part of an ongoing effort to help our students transition smoothly to the next stage of their education. During the visit, they learned about the different programs and services available, as well as gained insight into what to expect in 7th grade.
