Great night for some 8th grade basketball. Both teams played hard but came up a little short.
Today as part of their economics unit, Mrs. Johnson’s 6th grade Social Studies classes played an international trading game! Students worked in teams representing a country and negotiated with other countries to make trades with the goal of growing their own economy. Through their rounds of trading they were faced with changes in the global economy including price drops, surpluses, shortages, and embargoes.
Another middle school dance is in the books! A good time for all!
Great job middle school boys 7th and 8th grade basketball teams. All teams worked hard and played well. A special shout out to our 8th grade A team for your victory over Hemlock!

On Thursday, January 12th, we hosted a Reality Store at Bullock Creek Middle School. Bullock Creek Middle School in conjunction with Midland County’s ESA Career and Technical Education joined forces to bring the Reality Store to our 8th graders. This year, the Reality Store is a culminating activity for our Six week Career Pathway Adventures series where students learned about careers in all of the six Career Pathways. In the Reality Store, students envision what their lives will be like when they’re in their mid-20-30’s … what jobs they’ll have, if they are single or married, etc. They were given a “checkbook” with a deposit equal to one month’s salary in their chosen occupation. Students visited booths manned by local community members at which they payed their monthly bills. At each booth, students made decisions about the standard of living they’ll assume. As they went from booth to booth in the store, they began to see reality take shape. In their classrooms following the Reality Store, students will discuss the impact of the educational choices they make today on their ability to enter various occupations and support various standards of living in their future. As always, we are thankful to Midland County’s ESA Career and Technical Education for helping us bring this valuable experience to our 8th graders. Also, a huge thankful to all community members who gave up their time to volunteer and work our Reality Store. Without them, we could never achieve this.
Since the beginning of the school year, Ms. Buiteweg’s Math Lab students have been collecting data on the Middle School paper recycling. They partnered with the Arnold Center, who comes and picks up our paper recycling every month. So far the middle school has recycled close to 800 pounds of paper!
