Congratulations to our September Students of the Month!

The elementary students & staff had a blast showing their support for their favorite team!

Thank you to all the parents for supporting our fine arts night!

Connor is a 3rd grade student at BES and has been giving our food service director, Michele, reviews on the lunches! Here are some of his highlights from the month!

Chicken Con Queso

The rice was excellent 10-10. The chicken was ok, spicy. Solid 9. The cheese on top 1000/10

Tator Tot Nacho

Overall 8/10. Didn’t care for the liquid cheese. Everything else 10/10

Pizzaburger 10/10

But the cheese was only on the edges and needed more.

Nacho

10/10 - I didn’t put the liquid cheese on it. It would have been 20/10 if there was shredded cheese.

The Huskie Pups Learning Center (HPLC) still has openings! If you have any questions, please contact the elementary office!

Mr. Slavik and his wife, Sarah, help coach a local travel softball team, and they whipped up some fun team outfits for Halloween! We appreciate everything Mr. Slavik and his family do for not just the school, but the entire community!

November is Homeless Awareness Month and United Way is excited to be partnering with classrooms throughout Gratiot & Isabella Counties to raise money for Gratiot County Hope House and Isabella County Restoration House through a coin war challenge called “Coins for a Cause”! United Way is committed to matching all funds raised (up to $10,000 for each County) and will provide the winning classroom from each school with a pizza party!

Each Advisory Teacher will be given a “coin collection jar” and a sample classroom announcement to kick off their fundraising. We will run our campaign from Monday, November 11th, to Friday, November 22nd.

Varsity Volleyball had a big month!

• They dedicated a game to those who have battled/are battling cancer with their annual Pink Out game.
• The team and the spectators rallied around BayLeigh Clapp as she celebrated her 1,000th career dig.
• We celebrated our senior volleyball players during Senior Night.

They begin their post-season play on Wednesday, November 6th at 7:30 p.m. at Ashley High School, where they will take on the winner of Ashley v. Fulton!

Congratulations to the Girls Cross Country team for winning their 3rd straight regional title. The boys came in 4th place - but Anthony Rowe has qualified for state as an individual runner!

• The Varsity Cheer team welcomed Alumni to cheer with them at the last home game of the season.
• The last home football game brought us Senior Night for Football, Cross Country, and Sideline Cheer.
• The JV & Varsity Football teams have purchased shirts to promote mental health awareness and honor a student who has lost a family member to this struggle. The front of the shirt reads "You are enough." and on back it says, "Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it. Love, the person in front of you."

Congratulations to our Equestrian team for advancing to state finals, placing 8th in Division D, and congratulations to our Esports team for winning their first match of the season against Fulton!

Unfortunately as we head into colder months, the number of illnesses rise. If your student is ill, please keep them home. Promptly call the school with any symptoms your child is experiencing (fever, vomiting, sore throat, body ache, cough) and keep them home until they're symptom free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducers. If you take your student to the doctor for their symptoms, please have your student turn in the doctor's note to the office when they return to school. This will ensure the absence does not negatively affect them for truancy purposes.
