Speech, Scholastic Bowl, Basketball Tournaments, ISAT Prep...
Blowing Like A Storm Through Winter Activities

The students are deep into their winter classroom and extra curricular activities. While the teachers are preparing the students for the ISAT test, the students are participating in a wide variety of activities.

The Scholastic Bowl team is practicing and getting ready for their first meet on February 16. Miss Jaggers has 7 students on the team and is very encouraged by the way practices are going. Good luck to the BVS Scholastic Bowl Team.

The girls basketball team has their conference tournament on February 12, 13, 16, 17. Coach Corwin said the girls have really improved through the season and she is looking forward to a great tournament. Good Luck Girls!

The speech team members have chosen their partners and are working on their presentations. The students have memorized their lines and are working on blocking and expression during their lunch and 8th period study halls.  Everyone enjoys watching their skits as they prepare for their competition on February 22 in Malden. Go Speech Team!

ISAT tests will be given during the first week of March which seems to be coming fast. The teachers and students are busy reviewing material that was covered earlier in the year as well as practicing writing skills.

It will help the students a great deal if they have a good nights sleep and a filling healthy breakfast on the days of the tests.


The web page team has some new members this year who are busy and struggling to find time work create their pages.  Their pages are coming along slowly but will be interesting when they are up on the school site.  Please be patient. 

Be sure to check the Calendars, Menus, and Schedules page to see what's for lunch, the Scholastic Bowl team meet and practice schedule, as well as what's happening at school.

Recycling continues for the small inkjet cartridges and aluminum cans. Send your deskjet ink cartridges and pop cans to school with your students. It would be helpful if the cans were already crushed. No beer cans. Any student who turns in ink cartridges and cans to Mrs. Stander will receive a treat at the end of the nine weeks.
