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. #boynepride

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.

BCHS Media Center Held a Spooky Halloween prize drawing for the high school students. Congratulations to our Winners: Kiley Harwell and Adonae Patton They each received a Halloween basket full of fun goodies including: candy, snacks, a new book, and a gift certificate to Lake Charlevoix Coffee Company.

BCPS Families: November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and from our Early Learners through our high school buildings, we have Boyne students and staff with Type One Diabetes (T1D). T1D is a life-long condition that has no cure. For these reasons, Boyne City Public Schools will be promoting Diabetes Awareness for the month of November, and on World Diabetes Day, November 14th, a special "Boyne Wears Blue" day for Type One Diabetes Awareness. We will be offering these shirts and sweatshirts with proceeds going directly to supporting our very own Boyne diabetic students. Please see the link below for purchasing a “Boyne Wears Blue” shirt. These items will be delivered on November 12/13th so that they can be worn on November 14th. As of now, the link only includes adult sizes, but we are working on adding youth sizes.
