We also have seasonal events like BVRFest, Winter Carnival, and Spring Fling.

Clubs, Groups, and Programming

There are many different ways students can be involved and lead in the Middle School. Most clubs, groups, and programming meet during lunch/recess, and students can pick more than one option each day or week.

DEIJ

In our Middle School, we understand and value the development of the middle school student. During these pivotal years, middle schoolers are on a journey to identify their sense of self. Students ask themselves, “Who am I?” “Who am I in this community?” and “How do I fit in?” To ask these questions is to engage in DEIJ work.

MS Wellness

Our target focus for Middle School Wellness is to normalize the developmental challenges with which students face and help our students further develop their social and emotional learning skills to help them navigate the content of their lives. Our work is intended to help our students be connected and engaged members of our community.
