BCS has enjoyed participating in National 4-H Week with all kinds of activities, dress up days, and coloring contest. A big thank you to Kyli Penrod and all our 4-H friends for making this week so much fun for our students and staff. Check out our Kodiaks celebrating 4-H Week!
Mrs. Jodi Bacon's pre-k class at Northside learned important safety lessons today thanks to the Hartford City Fire Department. Students learned to not be fearful of firemen in their protective gear. They even had the opportunity to spray the fire hose! What a fun day!
There's nothing like a little friendly competition, and today's JROTC Challenge Ed in the BJSHS pool provided just that- along with a whole lot of fun!

Don't forget- October 11 through October 16 is Fall Break, which means no school for students and staff.
See you back in class on October 18!
Have a great break, Bruins!
BCS phones are down across the district, tied to internet outage impacting many AT&T customers. This is also impacting internet in our elementary schools. We appreciate your patience as we work through this issue.
BCS is currently experiencing an outside internet outage that has affected the phones at BIS, Northside, Montpelier, and Central Office. As soon as they are back up, we will let everyone know. Thank you for your understanding.
Our Montpelier Kodiaks stepped back in history today during a field trip to the Mississinewa 1812 Living History Day. What a gorgeous fall day to spend along the Mississinewa River learning about what was life was like in 1812.

Check out the busy bears at BIS!
Students in Mrs. Kari Crouse' s 3rd grade class have been working on understanding the value of money, and adding and subtracting money and coins. Yesterday, the students were given an envelope with money and had to plan a full meal within their given budget. They had to count their money, determine the total cost of their purchases, and how much change they would receive.
Nice work, Bears!
