The Bronco Roundup

Wishing all of you a very blessed Christmas Holiday!

From The Bronco Roundup

As we wrap up this semester and head into the holiday season, I want to take a moment to remind you about the true spirit of Christmas. It’s not just about gifts or decorations—it’s about kindness, gratitude, and caring for others. Take time to appreciate your family, friends, and all the wonderful opportunities you’ve had to learn and grow this year.

You’ve worked hard, and I’m proud of the effort you’ve put into your studies. Finish strong, and remember that every challenge you’ve faced has helped you become stronger and smarter. Over the break, rest, recharge, and spread joy wherever you go.

⛄ Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎉

Let’s come back ready for an amazing new semester.

We are very proud to share the news that our very own Moss Bluff Middle School Principal, Mrs. Angela Guillory, has been named as Calcasieu Parish School Board's Middle School Principal of the Year!

"With two decades of service in Calcasieu Parish schools, Mrs. Angela Guillory has dedicated her career to middle school education. She has taught social studies, led enrichment programs in jazz dance, and coached cheerleading for 12 years before moving into leadership roles as curriculum coordinator, dean of students, and assistant principal. Now in her role as principal of Moss Bluff Middle School, Mrs. Guillory continues to make a meaningful impact on students, staff, and the broader community, leading with energy, empathy, and a true love for education."

"Strong schools are built on strong leadership," said Superintendent Dr. Jason VanMetre. "Our principals inspire students, empower teachers, and shape the culture of our schools. Their vision and commitment are at the heart of our success as a district. We are proud to celebrate our outstanding leaders who embody what it means to selflessly serve our students, teachers, and staff."

Moss Bluff Middle School received an "A" rating School Performance Score for the 2024-2025 School Year! We "LEAP"ed into an "A" school for the first time in MBMS history and are ALSO a Top Gains School as well with a school score of 90.8!

Way to go to our amazing student body for their hard work, the best faculty and staff for their dedication, and our wonderful administration for their leadership!

Lastly, thank you to our beautiful town of Moss Bluff for all the support given to our school!

There is a new App that can and will be used throughout the Parish to report things anonymously from your phone, iPad, or computer-The Close Watch App.

Brief Overview: A complaint is received by CPSO and law enforcement will check out the complaint to make sure it is legitimate and will then move forward.

Crimes and thefts can be reported, either in school or out, and it can prevent mass casualty incidents with just a few key strokes.

See something, say something, it’s right at your fingertips!

It's in the App Store called Calcasieu Close Watch.

*Remember, if you see or hear something, REPORT IT to a MBMS admin or a faculty / staff member IMMEDIATELY!*

What plans do you have for Christmas break and how do you feel about it?

· I plan to build gingerbread houses and read all day. I'm very happy and excited! ~ Charlee Hogan

· I plan to sleep in and celebrate with my family. I am very excited about Christmas break! ~ Caleigh Elliott

Student Council Overview

The purpose of the Student Council is to encourage democratic participation in school governance, foster understanding between students and faculty, and promote the values of friendliness, fair play, loyalty, and school spirit.

Advisors: Mrs. Bowles and Mrs. Butler

Membership and Leadership

•President: Must be an eighth-grade student.

•Vice President: Must be in seventh or eighth grade.

•Secretary and Historian: Open to any grade level.

•Council Members: Students in grades 6–8.

Representatives are elected by the student body, while officers are elected by Student Council members. Officers must maintain a 3.0 GPA, and representatives must maintain a 2.5 GPA. All members are required to follow the Student Council constitution.

Activities and Contributions

The Student Council sponsors Teacher Appreciation Week, food drives, school spirit activities, and—when permitted—school dances. Each year, donations are made to a different charity.

Kindness Week at MBMS: During this week, students were celebrating Kindness Week with fun dress-up days that each represent a different way to show kindness. Lorelei Duff, Regan Kennedy, and Klaire Durio explain what each day means and how it encourages us to spread kindness throughout our school.

WEDNESDAY: How does dressing up as kids, middle aged, and elders have to do with kindness?

· Growing up with kindness between the ages shows me that your kindness will travel with you throughout the ages and should be at the front of your mine all the time.

THURSDAY: What does dress up as different colors have to do with kindness?

· It means showing your grade level by dressing all out in your designated color. 6th grade was yellow, 7th grade was blue, and 8th grade was purple. This was easier to tell for teachers to know which student was in which grade.

FRIDAY: How does dressing up as bright colors show kindness?

· Dressing up in bright colors shows everyone how to be bright, bold and kind. This means that if you wear bright colors your brighter and show off as kind.

The Student Council’s coin and canned food drives are meaningful fundraisers that provide essential support to those in need. Your generosity helps families during challenging times—especially throughout the holiday season. Every donation of money and food makes a real difference and reflects the heart of our school community. Thank you for showing what it means to be a Bronco!
