National Honor Society has all the gifts delivered from the "Giving Bell Tree" to be gifted to local youth! Thanks to this wonderful giving community for helping to make this project a success!
Grade level teams met today to look at student data and make informed decisions on how to best support our students at BFMS. The Middle School has implemented "Bronc Time" in all grade levels to support students in reading and math. (Pictured is the 5th grade team.)
6th grade students made some great replicas for their Ancient Greece presentations in Mr. Esmay's class.
Students wrapped up classes for the semester. Now they are getting in the holiday spirit with festive puzzles!

Our NHS head elves, Lydia, Allie, and Bailey, are working hard to get gifts to our local youth in need! "Giving Bell Trees" are set up at SouthPark, middle school, and high school. Pick up a bell to get a gift idea for a child in need. All gifts stay local! Gifts must be returned by Dec. 17. We are also in need of gift bag and wrapping paper donations to wrap the gifts!

The Belle Fourche Honor Guard, who provide Military Funeral Honors during Service Members’ funerals, have also been an essential asset to our Veterans Day activities at BFMS. This group, over the past few decades, have taken time out of their schedules to visit with our students about patriotism, service, and respect for our flag. They have spoken to students in the classroom and have presented the Flag Retirement Ceremony at our school, enlisting the help of our 8th grade classes. These men are an excellent example of service to others and to their country. Student Council Members and School Supt. Thompson presented the plaque to Blaine Anderson and the Honor Guard members at the BFMS program on Veterans Day.
