Congratulations to our January Citizens of the
Month who were celebrated for their fairness at
all times. Sixth grade, Dillon McLeish, seventh
grade, Maggie Bateman, eighth grade, Jaden
Villeli, and staff, Mrs. Heigel and Mr. Arthur.
February citizens will be honored for caring.
Congratulations to Eika Willis on winning our
local Geography Bee! She will be moving on to
the state competition to be held on April 6,
with a chance to move on to the national
competition and thousands of dollars in
scholarships. Well done!
Congratulations to our Omega Robotics team, who
won the award for most innovative solution at
the state FLL tournament in Moscow recently!
This award is related to this year’s theme,
which was focusing on problems related to the
human water cycle.
Team Omega came decided to tackle the problem of
water conservation in regards to waste water
(toilets, washing ...). They innovated a fog
catching mesh used in Peru to be used on
skyscrapers. The water it collects would flow
down a water pipe to a holding tank in the
basement. They used Seattle as their site for
this innovation.
They calculated the amount of average moisture
in the air in Seattle, and calculated the area
of coverage on the Space Needle. These
calculations led them to estimate that their
mesh could produce an estimated 1,600 gallons of
water per day.
This water could be used to supplement non
potable water needs for the building, cutting
down the usage from the city water grid. The
presentation of this idea set them apart from
the other competitors and earned them one of the
coveted three big trophies!
Congratulations to our Spelling Bee Winners:
Sixth grade, Ana Chase, seventh, Morgan Moon,
and eighth, Camille Ussher! Our runners up were:
Sixth, Damon Madson, seventh, Taylor Cromwell,
and eighth, Kyle Smith.
Congratulations to our art students, who
recently raised $354 from their fundraiser, Art
to Remember. Thank you to all who supported our
students in this project. The money will go for
special art supplies and future field trips.
Congratulations to our basketball teams, who all
competed very well this season. Unfortunately,
due to weather conditions, they were not able to
compete in our annual season ending tournaments.
It’s great to know they were all celebrated and
recognized at our pep assembly last week!
Congratulations to Boundary County School
District students who will enjoy district-wide
motivational speeches from John Williams of
Lifethatcounts.org!
Through the generous assistance of the Kootenai
Tribe, funding was secured to get John to speak
at every school over two days February 21-22.
Many students/schools will also benefit from
additional workshops known as Hero Training,
prompting students to work on a 21 day
Compassion Challenge at their schools following
the assemblies! John will also be presenting a
workshop to staff about positive and supportive
student interactions. Please contact your school
to get more information about presentation
times.
Congratulations to the community of Bonners
Ferry and all of Boundary County for the
opportunity to learn about current drugs and
drug trends in our area from a presentation by
Deputy Watts. Deputy Watts will be presenting a
workshop for BCSD staff followed by a free
evening presentation for the community at BCMS.
The community presentation will begin at 5:30
p.m. today in the BCMS Gym.
Congratulations to BCMS students who will be
enjoying their annual Ski Day soon! Seventh
grade will go March 6, eighth grade March 8, and
sixth grade will go on March 14.
Don’t forget mid-quarter is March 1, and
progress reports will be sent home with
students.
Congratulations Badgers! |
