Our Lineworker program, which is possible due to a terrific partnership between Boyne City High School and Great Lakes Energy, continues to thrive. Below is former student, Sam Wilson, who is pictured from atop a 90-foot tower on the Northwest Lineman College Idaho campus, representing in a Rambler program sweatshirt. How cool is this? #boynepride. #boyneinspires
Each year, Boyne City High School sponsors a "Christmas Wish List" program, where fundraising efforts are made to purchase gifts for BCHS students in need. Pictured below is Sandy Clausen, Student Council advisor and the heart behind this project, and Natash Hizelberger of Stiggs Feed-A-Friend. In additional to the usual gift packages given to BCHS students, this year there was an additional donation added to each package from Stiggs Feed-A-Friend.
Stiggs Feed-A-Friend has made donations to families in our school who are in need this Christmas, ensuring that no family goes hungry during the holiday season. They provided gift cards to these families and also offered a complimentary meal to them every Sunday throughout the year. Natasha Hizelberger is making a significant impact with her efforts, as her goal is to improve the circumstances of poverty for residents in Charlevoix County.

Congratulations to Jamie Ploe and Anna Zucker, our BCHS Media Center Winter Raffle winners! They have each won a basket filled with fun stuff: New Book, Fuzzy Blanket, Hot Chocolate, some Candy and a few little crafts. We hope they enjoy a cozy holiday break reading their new books.
Last night, students from BCHS Drama lent their voices to the LIGHTS OF LOVE Eta Nu tree lighting done annually at the Dilworth Inn porch. This event helps raise money for Hospice of Northwest Michigan. A special heart was also placed for former Charlevoix art teacher, Mercedes Mathers. Marty also painted sets for BCHS Drama for many years & has influenced & taught many of our current painters on set/theater painting. It was our honor to be there to sing in her memory. #boyneinspires #boynepride
This morning the BCHS Rambler Connect club and the Boyne City Police Department hosted our annual 'Cops and Doughnuts' meet and greet, where current BCHS students had coffee and donuts with local law enforcement members.

Congratulations to our November Students of the Month at BCHS!
9th Grade
Myra Guzniczak: Myra has been amazing at helping with after school events this month, she volunteered her own time to help do two catering events. At the BMB dinner, she was a rockstar; helping to take care of guests and help her team get a very big job done.
10th Grade
Toby Yang: Toby is a Student I wish I could MOLD! He never takes a break I mean everywhere I see him he is doing some type of homework. His concentration is amazing. I see him in the hallway, the cafeteria, my classroom, I mean he is always working on something. Personally you could not ask for a nicer young man. Toby's dedication and commitment to absolutely everything he does makes him a great candidate for student of the month. I have never seen a student working so hard to maintain his GPA. He also wrestles and gives 100% everyday. He is a leader in the classroom and I wish more students had his drive to be successful!
11th Grade
Brayden Dunlop: I nominated Brayden last month because of his great start to the school year. He continues to maintain all A's and B's, which is a big academic improvement for him. He also has made great improvement in his attendance this year. In general, Brayden has a very positive attitude. He brightens many people's day with his smile and is quick to say "hi" and give a fist bump in the hallway.
12th Grade
Thomus Buning: Thomus has made some amazing academic gains! He is kind and helpful and can be found holding the doors open for others most mornings. He has stepped right up to help run the Java Joy coffee business and has even researched ways to recycle our coffee grounds and the empty pods. He's also taken initiative to learn our Square sales system on his own! I am very proud of the young man he has become.

Congratulations to our Students of the Month for October at Boyne City High School! Below are pictures and written nominations for each student.
9th Grade - Grady Ragan
Grady has been a great student so far this year! In Pre-Algebra he has been a huge help in class, whether that be answering questions, completing his notes/assignments on time, or helping other students out when they have questions.
10th Grade - Olivia Eckerle
Olivia is one of the most resilient students I've ever met. She is a student who wants to learn, not just to get a good grade, but to truly master the material. She is quiet, but always engaged. Although I only have Olivia in English, last week she asked to sit in on our creative writing class. Despite note being in the class, she participated in our class activities and helped her peers revise their short stories. She works so hard, and she deserves this recognition.
11th Grade - Abigail Jaroneski
Abigail is a great student. She is a great student because she has a great work ethic. She is very persistent.Things are not always easy, but Abi works until the job gets done correctly. Abi is doing a great job working with other students. Abi has been working with a 9th grader on math on her own time, even though she has her own work to do. Abi is involved with extracurricular (cheerleading), and works many hours outside of her school day She makes great decisions because she has a strong sense of right and wrong and how all students should be treated. We are very fortunate to have a student like Abi at Boyne City High School.
12th Grade - Ethan McQueen
Ethan is outstanding student every month. He is responsible, not only in doing his homework, but he owns his level of learning and understanding the most difficult concepts. He takes challenging courses and isn't afraid of working hard to learn. He questions to gain a deeper understanding of the material. He is polite and respectful and is very deserved of Student of the Month recoginition. Due to a unique and unpredictable set of circumstances regarding our 2nd year returning RSN crew either being nominated for Homecoming Court, or on the Varsity Volleyball team (or both), Ethan had to be thrust with no experience or background into the key 'Quarterback' role on the RSN Production Crew. He is the first student who has ever been asked to step directly into the Technical Director role, and had to learn and pick up a very complicated and fast moving job extremely fast with very little actual rehearsal and practice. Not only has Ethan embraced the challenge and sought out and spent the time outside of class time to pick up the technical knowledge needed, he has stepped up and shown amazing maturity, leadership and want to make the productions on his watch the best they can be.
