The BCMS Spring Break Classic Staff vs. Students Basketball Game was a huge success and the perfect way to wrap up the week! More than twenty middle school teams stepped onto the court with each receiving a fast-paced three-minute run to take on the staff in an epic showdown.
The energy in the gym was incredible as students gave it their all. Both sides showed impressive teamwork, hustle, and plenty of highlight-worthy moments. While the staff ultimately took care of business, both sides delivered unforgettable plays that kept the crowd cheering throughout the event.
Most importantly, the game was all about camaraderie, school spirit, and having fun together as a BCMS community. It was a fantastic way to head into Spring Break. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

A huge shoutout to the amazing Mrs. Pretzer for sharing her time and expertise with us today! 🍁
Our students got a front-row seat to the magic of nature as they learned how to transform raw tree sap into delicious maple syrup. We explored the science of evaporation and were amazed to see just how much sap it takes to produce even a small amount of syrup!
We are so grateful for all the hard work Mrs. Pretzer put into boiling the sap so our students could experience this process firsthand. Thank you for making science so sweet! 🥞✨

We had a very special guest at BCEL today! Our amazing Superintendent, Mr. Hale, stopped by to see all the incredible work our Little Lancers are doing.
Mr. Hale was blown away by all of our hard work and creativity! From the curious questions and the endless high fives to showing off just how much fun we have learning every day, our students loved visiting with Mr, Hale.
There’s nothing we love more than bragging about our school spirit! Thank you so much, Mr. Hale, for taking the time to visit, listen, and celebrate with us.

Bullock Creek Middle School was excited to welcome members of the Home Builders Association of the Great Lakes Bay Region to our 6th grade classrooms! During their visit, students learned about the many aspects of building a single-family home, including financing, planning, and the skilled trades involved while using math skills taught to them throughout the year. To wrap up the experience, students designed their own home floor plans, calculated costs by room type, and determined the average price per square foot. Thank you to our guest volunteers from HBA for sharing your time and expertise to inspire our students!
Shoutout to Ms. Monique, the awesome social worker at Pine River. Thanks for all you do to support students, families, and staff. We appreciate you!
Let's Go Creek!
Pine River third graders visited the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library for a hands-on field trip. Our students learned how to care for books, practiced their book-finding skills, and enjoyed a guided tour. Throughout the visit, they participated in fun, interactive activities. A huge thank you to the library for welcoming our students and to the Friends of the Library for generously giving each student a free book to take home.
After collecting sap around the middle school for about a week, our Nature Exploration class boiled about 25 gallons of the sap down to 3.5 quarts of syrup. After this, the students made their own pancakes to enjoy with the syrup that was made. Not pictured: the pancake breakfast as students scarfed down the everything that was made before pictures were taken. :)
The end of day time change for Floyd Elementary's Coffee and Connect was a success! Be on the lookout for the April date--coming soon!
Floyd 3rd graders enjoyed their outdoor learning during Creek Week. So many neat experiences and memories made! Thanks to all who make these special weeks happen.

Opening night of The Mystery Club: Episodes 1 and 3 did not disappoint! The BCMS Drama Team did an absolutely fabulous job with their performance. All of their hard work paid off as the audience laughed the night away. In case you missed it, there's still one more performance this Saturday at 2 pm at the BCHS Auditorium. It's a great time for the whole family.
Just another calm, cool morning at BCMS!
Congratulations to Bullock Creek Middle School's very own Morgan Dukarski! She finished second in this year's Middle School Battle of the Books competition hosted by the Grace A. Dow Library. Over the past three years Morgan has been an absolute star when it comes to the Battle of the Books. Not only did she finish in second place this year, she also finished in second place when she was in 6th grade. In addition, Morgan finished in 1st place when she was in 7th grade! As Morgan gets ready to move on to high school, she's leaving some big shoes to fill. We're eager to see who is going to be the next to step up.
Mark your calendars for this Thursday and Saturday as the BCMS drama team will present Episodes 1 and 3 of The Mystery Club. Thursday's performance begins at 7 and Saturday's performance begins at 2. We hope to see later this week at Bullock Creek's High School Auditorium for these wonderful performances!
