February is Black History Month
The month of February is designated as “Black History Month” nationwide. Classes will have activities commemorating the important people, places and events of the civil rights movement and the contributions and achievements of celebrated African Americans.
BMS Geography Bee
In January, Matthew Sharpsteen, sixth grader at BMS, won the school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee and a chance at a $25,000 college scholarship. The school-level Bee, at which students answered oral questions on geography, was the first round in the national competition. Next for Matthew will be a written test, and the top 100 scorers on that test will be eligible to compete in the State Bee on March 30. Each state winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., to participate in the National Bee championship rounds in May. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society, and a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Jeopardy host Alex Trebek will moderate the televised national finals on May 24. Dr. Leah Hammond is the BMS Geographic Bee coordinator and coach.
RHS Students Pass ServSafe Test

On February 6, David Sutton presented the draft calendars for the 2012-2013 school year as developed by the TCS Calendar Committee. Transylvania County Schools has requested a waiver from the 185-day requirement for next year. The State Board has not yet taken action on that request and may not take action until late in the spring. Therefore, the calendar committee has recommended that the Board adopt two calendars (a 180-day version and a 185-day version) in order to give students, staff, parents and the community some guidance in planning for next year. The draft calendars are attached. Mr. Sutton will discuss the calendars and answer any questions you may have.
A motion is in order to adopt school calendar(s) for 2012-2013.
