TO ALL THE BLS  STUDENTS AND STAFF MAY THE BLESSINGS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST BE ON YOU ALL!

We know that learning requires perseverance and many of our teachers have commented that this year our students have begun this year with a really great attitude when it comes to encountering challenging concepts. They have really taken on the “yet” attitude. they do not say, “I am not good at this math concept,” but instead they say, “I am not good at this math concept, yet.”

One of the many ways we promote a sense of community at our school is by having different grade levels work together. One of our programs is our “Reading Buddy” program where twice a month we have our 8th graders come and read with our 1st graders. Both groups of students really look forward to this time together.

You might not know but Principal Ferguson is actually teaching a class this year with our 7th and 8th graders. It is a project based learning class that he is team teaching with our 4H extension representative from Xenia. 

One of the pieces of our mission statement is to “partner with parents” and our teachers are so thank full when parents take even five or ten minutes to read with their students on a consistent basis.

We invite any member of the congregation to pray for our staff, families, and students as we settle into the new school year.
