BCHS is proud to announce our Students of the Month for September. Below you will see their nomination, as well as the Portrait of a Rambler competency that each student was nominated under: 9th Grade - Ben Stafford (Compassionate) I'd like to nominate 9th grader, Ben Stafford, from my 3rd hr Algebra class. He's kind, courteous, and gets his work done. He's also motivated to help others without even being asked. He just does what needs to be done. Today when I was busy helping a student who is new to our class, he went and worked with another student who was waiting for math help. At the end of class, he reorganized the calculators when other students had left them in the wrong slots, again without being asked. These are just a couple of recent examples of his selfless compassion for others and willingness to help. 10th Grade - Danielle Telgenhof (Adaptable) D hashad a great start to her year! Her smileand silly sense of humor are something Ilook forward to each day. She has overcome some major obstacles in her life and is making positive choices forherself. It is such a privilege watchingher grow and learn! 11th Grade - Tyvin Loveless (Responsible) Tyvin is off to a strong start in all of his classes. He participates regularly, puts forth great effort on his work, and is focused on doing his best with a great attitude. He joined the jazz band this year and is off to a positive start all around. 12th Grade - Johnny Hoffman (Adaptable) Johnny Hoffman is a student at BCHS that everyone should know! He is kind, caring, always eager to say hello to others, and his laughter is contagious. Johnny loves his computer and is independent with using the accessibility option on it. He does well following a daily routine, but can be adaptable when he needs to even though it is not always easy - he just needs a little heads up. This year he is working on being more independent - daily he gets on the transit bus to ride to and from school to be ready for his next level of education next fall. In addition, Johnny has had a job. He has held the same summer job two years in a row. Johnny loves to be a part of everything at the high school - from dress up days to attending dances. He has been a great part of the BCHS school community during these past four years. It has been a pleasure knowing Johnny!

Special thank you to class advisors Erin Zucker and Lisa Rintala, and McDonalds for donating 90 breakfast sandwiches for our students! #boynepride

BCHS is proud to announce our Students of the Month for May! 9th Grade - Allison Kujawski (Compassionate) Allison is a ray of sunshine who consistently shows compassion through her kindness, patience, and support toward her peers and everyone around her. Her cheerful disposition and genuine care for others make it easy for her to connect with people and create a positive environment wherever she goes. Our daily lunchtime visits and the moments she stops by between 5th and 6th hour are always a welcomed break in my day. Allison has a way of making people smile simply by being herself. 10th Grade - Evan Biskner (Responsible) Evan is a person who can be counted on. He shows up for himself and his classmates in class each day, while also balancing sports and drama. He communicates when he is going to be absent, asks questions when he is unsure, and completes tasks diligently. He an outspoken participant in class discussions, and a role model for good reading habits. He is kind, and I often see him in the halls greeting his peers and teachers. Yes, he's responsible, but he's also adaptable, compassionate, communicative, collaborative, and thoughtful. 11th Grade - Emmaleah Richards (Communicator) Emmaleah is a fantastic communicator. She articulates her ideas in class discussions and composes high-quality pieces of writing. Her ideas, opinions, and questions help others stay engaged in class and better understand the material. Additionally, Emmaleah's strong grades across the board and the wide variety of courses she takes speak volumes about her overall work ethic and commitment to her education. Great job, Emmaleah! #boynepride

They then traveled to Boyne Mountain for lunch and activities such as zip lining, paintball, disc golf, and swimming, culminating in a class picture on the sky bridge. A special thank you to Adam Rase and the entire Boyne Mountain staff, the Lions Club, Marty Moody, Mike McShane, and the 4th grade staff for providing such a wonderful day for these seniors as they look forward to graduation on May 31st! #boynecares
