Message from the Administration Team
March and April have been very exciting months for our school community. We are a small but mighty school which excels in both curricular and extracurricular activities.
Recently, we sent two teams to our Regional Skills Challenge in Owen Sound. We are very pleased to announce that the team of Connor Forbes and Waylon Hodgson achieved first place in the carpentry team of two. In a few short hours, Connor and Waylon built a barbeque trellis cover. This team has been invited to the Provincial Skills Competition at end of April. Their coach, Brian Furgal is very proud of their accomplishments and we thank him for his support.
Our badminton team has done extremely well this year as well. Coach Klages says this is one of the best years ever and 15 players are going on to CWOSSA regionals. We are known in the district for our abilities in badminton and this is an exceptional year. Our Bluewater champions are Ben Burrows and Jake Dickinson in junior boys’ doubles, Abby Myles and Brett McArthur in junior mixed doubles and Karlee Kelly and Ashley Myles in senior girls’ doubles. Congratulations!
On Thursday April 5th, a group of both elementary and secondary BPDS students travelled to the Bluewater Regional Science and Technology Fair in Owen Sound. Our students won a total of 13 medals. From these 13 medal winners, we had 3 gold medal winners. This is a first at BPDS! Jada Mielhausen not only won gold, but also received the Green at Heart Special Award. Rachel McLay, who won gold as well, received the University of Ottawa Admissions Scholarship Award. Our other gold medal winner, Josie Mielhausen, was awarded the Chemistry Special Award. These students will be representing our school
at the Canada Wide Science Fair in P.E.I. in May. Bluewater District School Board is sending a team of 6 students, 3 of them from BPDS! Other special award winners were Reed Rodgers who won the Owen Sound Field Naturalists Award and Rebekah Wilkens who won the Senior Natural Science Award. We are proud of all our entries and all the hard work they have put into their projects
On behalf of our staff, I would like to congratulate all of our students who represent our school beyond our four walls. The above mentioned events are just some of the highlights taking place at our school. Thanks to the parents and guardians of our children. We greatly appreciate your support in helping our students achieve these successes!
