The BCMS Community Council Members will be meeting next week on the evening of Thursday, October 24th in the BCMS Conference Room beginning at 6:00PM to discuss our ongoing school improvement efforts.

2019-2020 BCMS SCHOOL FUNDRAISER
(this use to be our annual MAGAZINE SALES)
On Tuesday, October 22nd, Garry Montgomery from Great American Opportunities will be meeting with each grade level to kick off BCMS’s fall school fundraising effort. He will be sharing with the students the “how” and the “why” for having a school fundraiser. Not only do the students stand to benefit personally (Garry will explain that), the fundraiser provides revenue for the school to implement student reward and educational activities (e.g. level review rewards, annual school-wide student tee shirts, field trips, as well as year-end prizes, honors and awards).
Please know that participation in the fundraiser, while encouraged, is not required. Parents and students should feel free to participate, or not, according to their own interest and availability. While homework is not optional, the school fundraiser is!
For the first time this year, our school fundraiser will be entirely online. And while parents and patrons can still purchase online items (which will be shipped directly to your home), those interested in simply making a monetary donation without buying anything unwanted will have that option also.
There won’t be any coupon books, door-to-door selling, forms to complete, money to change hands, deliveries to be made, etc. Parents and friends can expect to receive a text message invitation during the day of Tuesday, October 22nd, to purchase or donate, and that is it! One class period, one text.
For this special fundraising campaign, students will be permitted to have their cell phone in class for one period on Tuesday, October 22nd.
Grade 6 – Mrs. Cunningham’s science class
Grade 7 – Mrs. Wheeler’s science class
Grade 8 – Mrs. Caudill’s math class
The entire fundraiser will take place during that one class period.

WORLD VISION
As our middle school community is likely aware, BCMS is engaged as a school in a 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. initiative this 2019-2020 school year. However, one of the things we wanted to do as part of our special activity calendar is to look beyond the walls of BCMS. In this case, way beyond.
BCMS has earned a reputation of generosity as it relates to our annual Christmas Cheer campaign, but it is expanding that compassionate influence with the addition of our past and present enrichment club offerings . . . be it the Spotless Club, the Kindness Club, the Blanket Making Club, or the FCA Club and its recent work at the “Shed for you.”
On the morning of Friday, September 27th, BCMS students learned how our school can make an impact . . . not only in our community, but on the other side of the world.
Mrs. Amy Claire Patterson, representative from the international humanitarian organization, World Vision, was a guest speaker at BCMS to educate about the clean water crisis in underdeveloped countries and how we can be change agents the lives of others, many of them children.
She visited BCMS to answer the following questions:
What is World Vision?
What do they do?
What is significant about 6K?
And, how can we be World Vision partners as part of our BCMS 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. efforts this year?
Former BCMS student, BCHS graduate and Jackson County resident, Dr. Eric Parker, partnered with Mrs. Patterson to help answer those very questions.
In response to the clean water need, BCMS has scheduled some different fundraising activities so that we can be a World Vision supporter as a school in this our 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. year. Some of those activities include:
On Wednesday, October 9th, during the students’ TRIBE period, for a donation of $1 students were able to enjoy free electronic device (phone, tablet, school chromebook) time for that period.
On Friday, October 11th, BCMS had its own 6K run/walk activity. Later that afternoon, a World Vision Dance was held. $3 was the admission cost to the dance.
On Friday, November 1st, for a donation of $1, students will be permitted to wear a hat (school appropriate) in the building throughout the day.
All the money raised from these special activity (device, dance, and hat) days will be our donation to World Vision for the purpose of supplying clean water.
As an added incentive, the TRIBE class that raises the most by participating in the three planned fundraisers will earn extra gym time.
Community patrons wanting to financially support the World Vision effort as part of our BCMS 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. campaign can do so directly online:

“The Principal’s Post”
Please note that school will not be in session this next week, Monday, October 14th through Friday, October 18th. Classes will resume on Monday, October 21st. Have a safe and enjoyable Fall Break week!
THE SECOND “R”: RESPONSIBILITY
Last week I used “The Principal’s Post” to share BCMS’s first “R” – Respect. It remains my hope that you will partner with us in adopting a common vocabulary in reinforcing the critical character development traits we promote as a school. The “Three R’s” are the core principles that we advocate daily. And now . . .
. . . the second R: RESPONSIBILITY – Webster’s Dictionary defines responsibility as, “obligation, accountability, a person or thing that one is answerable to.” With the students we explain that responsibility is a willingness to accept ownership for one’s own social behavior as well as for assignments from authority figures.
The heart of responsibility is more than simply acknowledging one’s obligation (e.g. homework), it is the individual’s proactive attitude of ownership that empowers one to do his/her personal best regardless of the situation or task assigned. Responsibility doesn’t look for excuses, it looks for solutions.

BCMS COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEETING
The BCMS Community Council Members will be meeting next week on the evening of Thursday, October 24th in the BCMS Conference Room beginning at 6:00PM to discuss our ongoing school improvement efforts.
This invitation comes as BCMS, along with the other ILEARN tested schools in Indiana, await the release of their official school results and school accountability grades for the spring 2019 ILEARN exam.
BCMS’ recent accountability grade ratings have been:
2014-2015: A (“old” state accountability metrics)

2016-2017: D

BCMS parents and other interested members of the community are invited and welcome to join the council for this informative discussion. We would ask that all attendees please enter the building through the main entrance doors. Click here for more information.

2019-2020 BCMS SCHOOL FUNDRAISER
(this use to be our annual MAGAZINE SALES)
On Tuesday, October 22nd, Garry Montgomery from Great American Opportunities will be meeting with each grade level to kick off BCMS’s fall school fundraising effort. He will be sharing with the students the “how” and the “why” for having a school fundraiser. Not only do the students stand to benefit personally (Garry will explain that), the fundraiser provides revenue for the school to implement student reward and educational activities (e.g. level review rewards, annual school-wide student tee shirts, field trips, as well as year-end prizes, honors and awards).
Please know that participation in the fundraiser, while encouraged, is not required. Parents and students should feel free to participate, or not, according to their own interest and availability. While homework is not optional, the school fundraiser is!
For the first time this year, our school fundraiser will be entirely online. And while parents and patrons can still purchase online items (which will be shipped directly to your home), those interested in simply making a monetary donation without buying anything unwanted will have that option also.
There won’t be any coupon books, door-to-door selling, forms to complete, money to change hands, deliveries to be made, etc. Parents and friends can expect to receive a text message invitation during the day of Tuesday, October 22nd, to purchase or donate, and that is it! One class period, one text.
For this special fundraising campaign, students will be permitted to have their cell phone in class for one period on Tuesday, October 22nd.
Grade 6 – Mrs. Cunningham’s science class
Grade 7 – Mrs. Wheeler’s science class
Grade 8 – Mrs. Caudill’s math class
The entire fundraiser will take place during that one class period.
Please click on the date below for information sent via email on that day:

WORLD VISION
As our middle school community is likely aware, BCMS is engaged as a school in a 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. initiative this 2019-2020 school year. However, one of the things we wanted to do as part of our special activity calendar is to look beyond the walls of BCMS. In this case, way beyond.
BCMS has earned a reputation of generosity as it relates to our annual Christmas Cheer campaign, but it is expanding that compassionate influence with the addition of our past and present enrichment club offerings . . . be it the Spotless Club, the Kindness Club, the Blanket Making Club, or the FCA Club and its recent work at the “Shed for you.”
On the morning of Friday, September 27th, BCMS students learned how our school can make an impact . . . not only in our community, but on the other side of the world.
Mrs. Amy Claire Patterson, representative from the international humanitarian organization, World Vision, was a guest speaker at BCMS to educate about the clean water crisis in underdeveloped countries and how we can be change agents the lives of others, many of them children.
She visited BCMS to answer the following questions:
What is World Vision?
What do they do?
What is significant about 6K?
And, how can we be World Vision partners as part of our BCMS 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. efforts this year?
Former BCMS student, BCHS graduate and Jackson County resident, Dr. Eric Parker, partnered with Mrs. Patterson to help answer those very questions.
In response to the clean water need, BCMS has scheduled some different fundraising activities so that we can be a World Vision supporter as a school in this our 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. year. Some of those activities include:
On Wednesday, October 9th, during the students’ TRIBE period, for a donation of $1 students were able to enjoy free electronic device (phone, tablet, school chromebook) time for that period.
On Friday, October 11th, BCMS had its own 6K run/walk activity. Later that afternoon, a World Vision Dance was held. $3 was the admission cost to the dance.
On Friday, November 1st, for a donation of $1, students will be permitted to wear a hat (school appropriate) in the building throughout the day.
All the money raised from these special activity (device, dance, and hat) days will be our donation to World Vision for the purpose of supplying clean water.
As an added incentive, the TRIBE class that raises the most by participating in the three planned fundraisers will earn extra gym time.
Community patrons wanting to financially support the World Vision effort as part of our BCMS 20/20 V.I.S.I.O.N. campaign can do so directly online:

“The Principal’s Post”
Please note that school will not be in session this next week, Monday, October 14th through Friday, October 18th. Classes will resume on Monday, October 21st. Have a safe and enjoyable Fall Break week!
THE SECOND “R”: RESPONSIBILITY
Last week I used “The Principal’s Post” to share BCMS’s first “R” – Respect. It remains my hope that you will partner with us in adopting a common vocabulary in reinforcing the critical character development traits we promote as a school. The “Three R’s” are the core principles that we advocate daily. And now . . .
. . . the second R: RESPONSIBILITY – Webster’s Dictionary defines responsibility as, “obligation, accountability, a person or thing that one is answerable to.” With the students we explain that responsibility is a willingness to accept ownership for one’s own social behavior as well as for assignments from authority figures.
The heart of responsibility is more than simply acknowledging one’s obligation (e.g. homework), it is the individual’s proactive attitude of ownership that empowers one to do his/her personal best regardless of the situation or task assigned. Responsibility doesn’t look for excuses, it looks for solutions.
