From the Superintendent
Basketball season is rapidly winding down. Basketball is certainly one of our most popular activities here at Boyd, and I want to thank everyone who makes this activity possible for our students. First of all, our coaches who volunteer their time, Jeanne Hagar, Amanda Prater, Chris Sullens, Chris Perry, Donna Newby, Alan Burger, Greta Hoover, and Brent Warren. Our new athletic director, Dale Stubblefield, has also done an outstanding job for us. Our bus driver, Mr. Leonard Clemons, has always been reliable and makes sure that your children are safely transported to and from away games.
We also are thankful for all of our parents who have volunteered their time by working in the concession stand. This is an important part of our games, and you have all done such a wonderful job. Our booster club has been so helpful in organizing this.
I also want to thank all of the parents of our players who have brought food for our hospitality room. This has been a wonderful touch to our games this year. Visiting coaches and officials have often commented on how much they appreciate it. It causes them to enjoy coming to Boyd even more. In Romans 12, the apostle Paul says that we should be “given to hospitality”, and our parents are excellent examples. It makes me so proud of our school when visitors compliment our parents.
Finally, a big thanks goes to all of our teachers who take turns working the gate. There are so many who work hard behind the scenes to make sure that our students have opportunities to play sports.

Scrip Challenge
I want to challenge you all to purchase one scrip card this month. The program is not asking for money. The places you can use the cards are places you already shop. If you go to Wal-Mart, Texaco, or Applebee's you can use scrip! There are over 100 vendors and it is free money for the school. We did really well this fall with the program and since we have been back this month, our participation is minimal. I encourage you all to use this method of fundraising for Boyd because it doesn't cost anything. Well, maybe a few minutes of planning. I, myself, do all of my Wal-Mart and Walgreens shopping through Boyd. Mr. Harper buys all of his gas through the school. I challenge you to sit down this weekend, look at your budget and see where your spending is for next month. If you can, please do purchase scrip cards to shop in February! If every family would use ONE we would truly benefit. Also, a thank you for the Pizza Hut participation on Wednesdays! If we keep up how much we have done, we can easily earn $500 a month for Boyd. Just remember Wednesdays before or after church, dine in, call for delivery, or carryout your dinner at Pizza Hut. Let me also remind you that our Annual Spring Banquet is getting closer every day. If you have friends or family who are ALABAMA fans, please do let them know that Coach Gene Stallings will be here and we would be delighted to have them as guests. If you would like me to send out banquet information, please send me an email. I am also curious how many of you are familiar with the International Baccalaureate Program, commonly referred to as "IB". If you are interested, please send me an email. Again, thank you for all of your support and cooperation. Remember to keep BCS in your prayers! Have a wonderful weekend.

From the Superintendent
It is the time of year when we start to make plans for the next school year. One area we are looking at is our pre-kinder program. We have had a wonderful pre-kinder program for a long time, and Mrs. Renee Burch has continued that excellence this year. However, the last two years, our pre-kinder class has not been full. Since the cost of our pre-kinder is very competitive with other programs here in McMinnville, we have wondered why it isn’t full.
We believe that one area for growth could be at the three year old level. Currently, our pre-kinder is for four year old children only. Families have had to look elsewhere for services for their three year old children. It stands to reason that, if a family is happy with the pre-kinder program where their child attended as a three year old, they probably aren’t going to move their child to Boyd at age four. We believe that if we were to add a three year old program, not only would our enrollment increase by that number of students, our four year old class would grow also.
In addition, this year’s senior class is one of our largest. Adding a three year old program would help offset the loss of those students next year.
At this point, we are only studying the feasibility of adding a three year old class. We have not yet made a decision. However, it would be very helpful to know how many families might be interested in this. If you have a child who will be three years old by September 1, or if you know of another family who will have a three year old who would be interested, please call Terry Stubblefield at school and let her know. Also, please remember that we pay a $200 bonus per family for referrals. Referrals for pre-kinder class would be eligible for this bonus.

If you think that you would be likely to use our child care service in the event of a snow day, please call the school and give your name to Mrs. Terry Stubblefield in the front office. We would like to know beforehand if this is a service that we need to continue to provide.

From the Superintendent
I hope that all of you had a safe and happy Christmas and New Years. We are all excited to be back, and we are looking forward to the second semester.
Over the break, we divided Mrs. Knox’s classroom into two separate rooms. This will meet our classroom needs and will allow us to move the class which has temporarily been meeting in the library. I especially want to thank Randy Jones, one of our school board members, for all of his hard work during the Christmas vacation to get the room ready for the start of school.
Please remember to read the information about school closing in the event of snow. This can be found on the blog. Watch TV stations 2, 4, and 17 for the latest information.
This year, for the first time, we are offering child care on days when we are closed for snow. We offered this service on the last snow day, but no one chose to make use of it. If you think that you would be likely to use our child care service in the event of a snow day, please call the school and give your name to Mrs. Terry Stubblefield in the front office. We would like to know beforehand if this is a service that we need to continue to provide.

The third graders will start out the new year learning their multiplies of nine, in math class. In language class, they will be learning about verb tenses. In science class, they will be learning about force and gravity. They will be performing an activity to demonstrate their knowledge of force and gravity. Our Bible lesson for the week will be about being unselfish and content. Also, the third graders will be receiving their first book report assignment this week. They will need to go ahead and find a chapter book to use for their book report. Our student of the week is Garrett Gilliam. Congratulations to Garrett!
Grade 4…Mrs. Vandagriff
The fourth grade class at BCS had a wonderful experience before our holiday break. Our Nursing Home Basket Project was a HUGE success. Along with the fifth grade class, we were able to raise enough money to make 46 baskets!! We also make over 100 homemade cards for the residents. It was a day that we will never forget. This week will be very busy as we get back to work. We are continuing to read "Charlotte's Web," and do many activities with this amazing book. We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. May God bless you all in 2009!!
Grade 5…Mr. Burks
Happy New Year. I know everyone is excited to be back. I hope everyone had a relaxing and joyful holiday break and are anxious to get back to school and learn. This week we are going to review the first semester in Math and Language Arts. We will understand the changes in America during the “Roaring Twenties.” We continue to study energy in Science and will complete two activities to reinforce what we read about energy. Our reading story will allow students to compare a holiday celebration in America to that of another country. Bible lessons will focus on the New Testament. Luke 1 will be studied this week. Our memory verses will be Psalms 23. The spelling words will be taken from the Tennessee Education Vocabulary list. These are words students will need to be familiar with when taking the TCAP test in April. Finally, students will be practicing their writing skills each week in preparation for the Writing Assessment in February. We are going to be very busy between now and the end of April.
I hope that all of you had a safe and happy Christmas and New Years. We are all excited to be back, and we are looking forward to the second semester.
Over the break, we divided Mrs. Knox’s classroom into two separate rooms. This will meet our classroom needs and will allow us to move the class which has temporarily been meeting in the library. I especially want to thank Randy Jones, one of our school board members, for all of his hard work during the Christmas vacation to get the room ready for the start of school.
Please remember to read the information about school closing in the event of snow. This can be found on the blog. Watch TV stations 2, 4, and 17 for the latest information.
This year, for the first time, we are offering child care on days when we are closed for snow. We offered this service on the last snow day, but no one chose to make use of it. If you think that you would be likely to use our child care service in the event of a snow day, please call the school and give your name to Mrs. Terry Stubblefield in the front office. We would like to know beforehand if this is a service that we need to continue to provide.
Spring Banquet March 28
Please remember our annual Spring Banquet on Saturday evening, March 28, 2009, at the McMinnville Civic Center. Our guest speaker will be Gene Stallings, former football coach at the University of Alabama. Coach Stallings is a devout member of the Lamar Avenue Church of Christ. He is widely regarded as an inspirational speaker. The tailgate party will begin at 6:00 with the banquet to follow at 7:00. Tickets are $125 each and $1,000 per table.
