The Bronco Roundup
January and February 2025 Edition
Be Kind. Be Respectful. Be Prepared. Be a Bronco!
Mission Statement: Providing a safe, inspiring, and challenging learning environment.
A Message from Our Principal, Mrs. Guillory:
I know sometimes school can feel tough, and the road to your goals might seem long. But remember this: every step you take, no matter how small, is progress. Success isn’t always an easy road, but it’s a road worth traveling. There will be times when things get hard, and you might feel like giving up. But those moments? They’re the ones that test your strength and determination. Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. The key to success isn’t perfection; it’s persistence. Don’t let challenges stop you. Keep pushing, even when it feels tough. Every step forward, no matter how small, is progress. Stay focused, keep your eyes on the prize, and trust that all your hard work will pay off. Challenges are part of the journey, and they make the end result that much better. When you feel like giving up, take a deep breath, remind yourself of your strength, and keep going. You've got so much potential, and every effort you make today will bring you closer to your goal. So, don’t stop now—keep pushing forward. You’re capable of achieving more than you think! Keep believing in yourself!
There's an App for That!
Calcasieu Close Watch App
There is a new App that can and will be used throughout the Parish to report things anonymously from your phone, iPad, or computer-The Close Watch App.
Brief Overview: A complaint is received by CPSO and law enforcement will check out the complaint to make sure it is legitimate and will then move forward.
Crimes and thefts can be reported, either in school or out, and it can prevent mass casualty incidents with just a few key strokes.
See something, say something, it’s right at your fingertips!
It's in the App Store called Calcasieu Close Watch.
*Remember, if you see or hear something, REPORT IT to a MBMS admin or a faculty/staff member IMMEDIATELY!*
