BCMS Character Awards Breakfast

More than 50 BCMS students were honored Tuesday, November 15 at the school’s first Character Awards Breakfast of the 2016-17 school year.

The group was treated to a breakfast by our local Kiwanis Organization and students were presented with certificates for their exemplary behavior in school.

The character award recognizes students who display good character on a consistent basis throughout the marking period. Students who are nominated by their team teachers and other staff receive certificates signed by Interim Principal Dave Doemel. The program, now in its tenth year, is an integral part of the Middle School’s Character Education program.
