Our BMC Varsity Scholar Bowl Team competed today at the District Scholar Bowl meet in Bevier. They went 2-1 in pool play and advanced to the semi-finals round where they were defeated by a very talented Bevier team. This group has represented our schools well this season and we are very proud of them. (This group is also known for their wit and humor which have made supporting them a really fun time. Today was no exception.) Go BMC!
Mrs. Amen, who previously taught at MCR-IV, was our Mystery Reader today! Students enjoyed two engaging stories told beautifully by Mrs. Amen.
We want to give a big shoutout to our MCR-IV FFA Farm Management team: Laina, Alexis, Kayla & Karli. They competed today and placed 4th in the STATE. They were recognized on stage tonight during the last session of the 98th Missouri FFA Convention along with the other top 5 teams. This is a big accomplishment! We are proud of these ladies and how well they have represented our school.
{The farm management contest includes a test that evaluates the students’ abilities to apply economic principles and business management to agricultural scenarios. It includes topics like risk management, cost analysis, markets, diminishing returns, balance sheets and much more. It is quite impressive the knowledge these ladies have learned for this contest. }
A local author, Carol Cook, presented to elementary students about what it takes to become an author. She shared her book with us, and we now have a signed copy of it in the library!
