BEMS students celebrate Country Day during Homecoming Spirit Week
BHS HOMECOMING IS TRULY A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
This year's Homecoming parade was a fantastic representation of our schools.  Thank you to all who participated in this exciting Brownsburg tradition.  During halftime of the Homecoming game, BHS seniors Mack Deaton and Lauren Stout were named 2014 Homecoming King and Queen.     
BHS ALUMNI BANQUET
A crowd of 184 BHS alumni and their guests enjoyed the annual BHS Alumni Banquet Saturday night in the old Lincoln Township High School.  This building is now home to the BCSC Administration Center.  The class of 1964 celebrated their 50th reunion while other BHS alumni joined in the storytelling, fellowship, and fun.  The group took a tour of the converted building and particularly enjoyed the untouched section that will be used in the future as the district grows. 

BHS CHAIN LINK ORGANIZES HUGE BCSC DONATION TO RILEY HOSPITAL
BCSC celebrated its second Riley Week in September.  This week is organized by BHS student government, CHAIN Link.  All of our schools participated in spirit days and raised awareness for the good work of Riley Hospital for Children.  At the end of the week, the Dog Pound turned into a sea of red for the "Riley Red-out" and the Brownsburg community donated $8,479.14 to Riley.  Thank you all for your support of Riley Week!

BHS SPEECH CLASS VISITS BROWN ELEMENTARY
Students from BHS Speech classes visited Brown Elementary last month to improve their presentation skills and share their love of reading.  One of the 2nd graders shared with his teacher, "I want them to come again because she read her book and I heard expression!" 
GET AN INSIDE LOOK AT BCSC DURING THE 2015 VISION CLASS
No matter how many years have passed since your own graduation, education has changed.  We invite you to learn more about BCSC in a fun and exciting format.  Since it began in January of 2007, Vision BCSC has given people representing all areas of our community, the opportunity to take part in an interactive, in-depth ten month learning experience. Participants go "behind the scenes," meet the people who are responsible for programs and services, and see first-hand how the Corporation creates a climate of success for our growing student population.

The Vision BCSC Class of 2015 will meet ten times between January and November for approximately two and a half hours once a month.  Meetings will occur on Thursday mornings at various school buildings from 8am-10:30am.  Vision BCSC is a key opportunity for us to provide you with an unprecedented level of understanding about this School Corporation and for you to provide us with a community/parent perspective.  CLICK HERE to get your name on the list for next year's class!
