BUGC Spirit Wear Week December 12-16


VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS ARE STARTING TODAY!


We wanted to recognize our 2022 Speech Team. Last Saturday, November 5th, the BUGC Speech Team performed in Crescent City at the IESA State Speech Contest along with 10 other schools. There were 9 students who performed, and each group, duet, and solo received a 1 rating, which is the highest of the 3 ratings you can receive in speech. I was so proud of each of them.
Once the day is done, each judge picks their top choice for each category- solo, duet acting, improv, group acting etc. One of our duet groups was chosen as a Judge's Choice for Duet Acting of the day. The group that received this honor were 7th grade students Alyssa Pfeiffer and Vivian Miletich. This was each girl's first time participating in speech team. To receive this honor is a big deal, but to receive this in their first year participating is an even bigger deal. Both girls worked extremely hard, and I am so proud of them and wanted to recognize them for their hard work, dedication, and talent. They will be receiving a certificate from IESA soon.

Mrs. Haug’s 8th graders learned s’more about story structure and sequencing by piecing together sentences and paragraphs in groups. Each group had to wander around the campsite to different park rangers who held clues and pieces they needed to complete their task. A delicious campfire treat was their reward!
