Bonners Ferry High School: May Madness

May Madness

It is difficult for me to explain the mixed emotions that surround the end of the school year. Students, teachers, staff members, family members, and coaches have Senioritis. We are all ready for graduation, and not ready for graduation at the same time. We want our students to move out into the work force or post-secondary education, but we also worry about whether we have prepared them for life outside of Boundary County School District. Continually, we must hope that we have because we are graduating another class on June 3! Way to go Class of 2017!

Noteworthy dates:

May 25, 30, and 31: Senior Finals

June 1: Graduation Breakfast, Graduation Practice, Senior Tea, Senior Awards, and Honor Cord Ceremony

June 3: Graduation Ceremony at 1 p.m.

June 5-7: 9th-11th Grade Finals

June 8: Last Day of School

Props to Mr. Josh Knaggs for orchestrating a push to make Monday’s more than just the start of the week. Mr. Knaggs has started a tradition that Monday’s are the day to dress our best at BFHS. We have had many staff members, and some students, participate throughout the spring, and I we were able to get some of us in the same place for a picture. Thanks to all those staff that have been willing to make Badger Awesome Monday happen.

Kevin Gray and Grace Coughlin were chosen by our staff as the two nominees for North Idaho Student/Teacher Achievement Recognition program. Grace nominated Tess Nix, and Kevin Gray nominated Joe Stockdale. Thanks to all of you for representing BFHS so well!

As I put the pen down for this last article, please, remember that I need your feedback and support. I am busy, but never too busy to hear about how we can improve our school. Come and see us at graduation, and send the Class of 2017 off in the same Badger Awesome spirit they have championed at BFHS. As always, it is a privilege to be Principal at Bonners Ferry High School. From BFHS staff and students, Thank You Boundary County!!!!

Principal Kevin Dinning
