BCMS Summer School
Summer School will be held by invitation only, during the dates of June 17- July 18.  School time will be from 7:30-12:30  Mon- Thurs
Breakfast & Lunches
Parents and Students,
Please remember that students are not allowed to charge food at the Middle School nor the High School. However, students are allowed to call home to ask for lunch money to be brought to the school. Students who do not have lunch money should go to the front office for assistance.
Attention All 6th Grade Parents
Don’t let your child be late get up-to-date with the required Tdap Booster immunization. See your Primary Provider or the Baker County Health Department. All you need to do is schedule an appointment & bring a copy of your child’s shot record. All upcoming 7th Graders are required by Florida State Law to have this immunization before entering their 7th Grade school year. So get it done before the summer has begun and avoid the rush.

AR 500 Point Busters
Three students have made outstanding progress on earning AR points for the school year. This students also happened to be from 3 different grades. The number 1 point earner for the year is 6th grader Damian Scalf. Damian has earned himself a spot as a library aide next school year. The 2nd most point earner is 7th grader Clarissa Midyette. Clarissa is a hard worker and has also earned a spot as an aide next year. The 3rd highest point earner will be moving on to the 9th grade next year and we hope she will set a good example for all those high schoolers. Her name is Hayley Cook.

     Congratulations Damian, Clarissa, and Hayley!

 

 

Nursery & Landscaping 1st in State
I would like to congratulate BCMS FFA members on winning the State Nursery and Landscaping contest held in St. Petersburg. Students competed against twelve teams across the state of Florida on March 16th. This contest is designed to simulate learning activities related to nursery practices and landscaping including plant, pest and tool identification, a best management practices written exam, landscape interpretations, pruning, handling a hazardous situation and equipment maintenance. Team members are: Christy Crews (1st high individual), Collin Crews, Shelby King (3rd high individual) and Jessica Roberts. Congratulations to these students who worked extremely hard to compete in this contest.

Labels Help School
The Label Contest winner for March is Ms. Gail Combs' 1st period. Ms. Combs will be given the Traveling Trophy again for this month and receive a party for bringing in the most labels.

The year is quickly coming to an end, and it has been great the way the labels have been turned in this year. The money and points have been used to support our PBS store and add items to teachers and students in the classroom which help make BCMS a wonderful place to learn. With your help, we will exceed our goal this year of $2,500 in Box Tops. Many Box Tops will expire 6/31/13 so please send them in soon. First time shoppers at btfe.com/marketplace through April 14th will earn 15 bonus eBox Tops for our school.

Our Labels For Education points along with My Coke Rewards enrich our classrooms greatly. Tyson A+ labels have increased to over 100 and will be sent in during June for which we will receive $.24 per label.

Please continue to spread the word to your family, friends and church of this great way to support schools by turning trash into cash and points. You make a difference.

 


Community Service Project
Our Pennies for Pets fundraiser was a great success. Ms. Hawkins’ 1st period raised over $200.00 to win the pizza party.  Ms. Melvin’s class, Ms. Staier’s class and Ms. Bryant’s class were honorable mentions and received a snow cone party.

The donations went to First Coast No More Homeless Pets. FCNMHP is a low cost veterinarian service for feral cats and dogs in all the surrounding counties.

Office Reminders

Remember for safety reasons an appropriate ID is required for all entries into the middle school. This includes parent conferences, check-outs, deliveries, etc…This is District Policy for the 2012-2013 school year. Also due to valuable learning time in the classroom, student messages will only be delivered at 10:15 AM and 1:10 PM. We are committed to keeping children safe and your cooperation is vital.  

We also need to curb outside  lunch deliveries. Not only are lunch deliveries a security problem there is also a health factor involved. 

Let us all work together to keep our children safe and healthy.
