On Monday, March 28, John Armstrong and Zachary Spicer from Pigasus Pictures joined teacher Joe Steele and a room full of students in surprising CSA New Tech High School student Piper Parks with the news that her screenplay, Blue, has won the fifth annual Project Pigasus screenwriting contest. Parks, a senior at CSA New Tech, wrote the screenplay as part of an assignment for Steele's class but also submitted it for the contest. In May, Piper and her classmates will get the opportunity to learn about the filming process by working together to turn her paper into a short film project with Pigasus Pictures. The short film will be shown before a future Pigasus Pictures feature film at film festivals around the state and country.

Congratulations to Ms. Parks and CSA New Tech High School on this great accomplishment!

Near the conclusion of each school year, the Bartholomew Consolidated School

Foundation (BCSF) acknowledges a deserving educator from the Bartholomew Consolidated

School Corporation (BCSC). The “Good, Better, Best” recognition – awarded in honor of two

BCSC Hall of Fame, long-time educators (Ross Wallace and Chuck Grimes) – goes to a BCSC

employee that has gone “above and beyond” and “outside the box” in their passionate attempt

to make education as positive and memorable of an experience as possible for the students

they serve. Our hope is that proceeds from this race will continue to pay tribute to the legacy

of not only Mr. Wallace/Mr. Grimes and this award’s recipients, but also draw attention to

deserving educators everywhere for a long time to come.

Please use the links below to check for schedule changes for each school listed.

Did you know that over 11% of students at BCSC are emergent multilinguals? As part of Indiana's state requirements, these students will be taking the annual WIDA Access for ELLs during the months of January and February to assess their academic English language proficiency. Please contact your school's EL teacher if you have any questions.
