Goolsby's Sausage
BCS Supporters, I wanted to let you know that PTF will be selling Goolsby's Sausage from April 6th until April 15th. The delivery date will be April 17th at BCS from 3-4:00. All students will receive an order form for the sausage; money needs to be taken up when the item(s) are sold, so we can give Goolsby their money on delivery day. ***Goolsby Sausage will be giving a prize for the top 3 sellers; $75, $50, and $25. I think this is awesome of them. Please let them know how much we appreciate their support of the school. The PTF officers felt it would be better to wait on selling the sausage due to L.A.C.E. and Triple B having their sales during the same time. We appreciate all that you do to help support BCS/Christian Education. ***Don't forget about the PTF meeting this coming Tuesday night, 03/31/09, at 6:30 PM in the BCS cafeteria.
Thank you, Angela Ramsey PTF President

Parents, Teachers, and Friends of BCS,
There are a few things I want to tell you and also some reminders.

The monthly PTF meeting will be next Tuesday night, 03/31/09, at 6:30PM in the BCS cafeteria. Please make plans to attend. The school needs all of the help and support you can give them. We appreciate all the help from our supporters.
PTF has scheduled Saturday, April 18th, as our Spring Campus Clean Up day. Please make plans to assist that day even if it is for a short time. We will start at 8:00AM. We want to make our school campus clean and inviting to our families at Boyd and show others the pride we have in our campus. More information will be given about our campus clean up day at our scheduled PTF meeting on 03/31/09 at 6:30PM.
PTF will be selling Mother's Day baskets, so be watching for more information. The baskets will also make GREAT birthday gifts.

From the Superintendent
I hope that all of you have a safe and pleasant week next week. Tomorrow, our staff will be involved in another inservice day which will focus on our school improvement plan, which is the next step in our process to become SACS accredited. Earlier this year, Tabetha Sullens distributed surveys to many of our families and others in the community. I want to thank all of you who took the time to complete those and return them to us. Your feedback is critical to this process.
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the national conference of the National Christian Schools Association. Not surprisingly, many of the conference sessions this year dealt with the subject of managing Christian schools in difficult economic times!
As most of you know, we use the Edline online service which parents can use to tekeep informed about their child’s progress and assignments. While at the conference, I learned more about a service called Ren-Web. Some schools who were former Edline customers have switched to Ren-Web because of its user-friendly qualities. It also gives parents the capability of doing things like paying tuition by automatic bank draft and ordering school lunches from home. After we return from spring break, I would like for a few parents to join me in an online tutorial with the company representative. I would like to get feedback from parents before we decide to make any change. If you would be willing to volunteer to observe a demonstration, please contact me or Terry here at school.
Please remember our annual Spring Benefit Dinner.

Dear Parents,
I want to give you a “heads up” about some programs that may be offered next year. You may want your student to take the ACT test June 13, 2009 (registration deadline for this test is May 8, 2009). Taking the ACT is necessary for them to qualify for Dual Enrollment. You can register online by going to the school website, click on Guidance, click on Testing, and click on the ACT link. Call if you have any problems. DUAL ENROLLMENT is a program through Motlow State Community College where students receive college credit and high school credit at the same time. To make this program even sweeter, the Lottery Scholarship pays for most of the cost (except about $60). Some of our students have already taken advantage of this program, but next year, we may offer some of these courses on OUR CAMPUS so students will not have to drive over to the Motlow McMinnville campus. In order to qualify for dual enrollment, a student must have a 19 Composite on the ACT and in the subject area of the course. For English, you need a 19 in English and in Reading. For Chemistry, you need a 19 in Math and Science. This is the reason I am encouraging students to take the ACT, so that as many as possible can take advantage of this great opportunity. Dual enrollment courses will transfer to other colleges. Another program in the works is called CREDIT BY ASSESSMENT. These courses are taught by our teachers at our school using Motlow’s course content. At the end of the course, Motlow will administer a test to our students (the cost is about $65) and if they pass, they will receive college credit for the course -- if they enroll at Motlow within two years of high school graduation. We may possibly offer this credit in Marketing, Intro to Microcomputers, Criminal Justice, and/or Early Childhood Education. These courses cannot be transferred to another college until the student has completed 15 hours at Motlow. Students could feasibly get 15 credit hours while they are still in high school, for example, by taking Dual English I, Dual English II, Dual Chemistry, Intro to Microcomputers, and Marketing. We hope to offer more of these courses each year. Students may be able to complete the entire first year of college while still in high school. I believe these programs can motivate our students and give an added benefit of savings on college costs. Gayle Mayfield

National Anthem Singers-
How honored our girls' chorus was to sing the National Anthem at the state tournament. They did a remarkable job thanks to Jeanne Hagar. Well done, girls.
Newsletter
From the Superintendent
I want to thank all of you who came to our special Veterans Ceremony last Friday. I especially want to thank our middle school teachers, Susan Knox, Michelle Chisam, and Stephanie Hobbs, for their hard work in organizing this event. I thought that our children did a wonderful job with the ceremony. Thank you again for coming out to recognize the veterans in our community.
Most of you have probably read the article in the sports section of last Friday’s Southern Standard about Mrs. Jeanne Hagar and her retirement from coaching. Coach Hagar has been a member of the Boyd family for many years, and I am thankful that she will remain at Boyd. I know that teaching Bible class and directing our chorus are especially rewarding to her. Coach Hagar has a tremendous love for our school and for God. I am especially proud of her work in organizing and directing our chorus. These young people are wonderful representatives of our school. On Friday I had the opportunity to hear them sing the National Anthem in front of over 1,000 people at the state basketball championships at Lipscomb University, and they were outstanding. This was a tremendous honor for our students. There are 18 sessions during the tournament, and our chorus was selected from over 50 applicants from all over the state. I hope that all of you will join with me in the next few days in expressing your appreciation to Coach Hagar.

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow day! Our reading stories for this week are "A Big Day for Jay" and "Lost". We will have our spelling test on Friday. The bonus word this week is March. The kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will be traveling to Motlow in Tullahoma on Friday to see a play. We will be leaving around 9:30. Spring pictures will be made tomorrow.
Grade 2…Mrs. Newby
Thanks to the middle school and their teachers for the awesome program last Friday. It was a very special day for everyone involved. Our class will be going on a field trip this Friday with kindergarten and 1st grade to see the play, Pinocchio. We have been learning to count money in math and will continue to practice a little longer. Our Bible lessons are about Jacob and Rachel.
Grade 3…Ms. Farless
This week the third graders will continue to study division in math class. They will be dividing with remainders this week. In language class, we will be writing a friendly letter. Our unit of study in science class is sound. We will be learning about how sound is made. Also, we will be learning how sound travels through the various states of matter. Our Monday, we will have a visitor from Homeland Community Bank. This visitor will talk to the students about banking. This should be a great conclusion to our social studies chapter about banking and running a business. Don't forget to study from your social studies test that you will have on Thursday. Our student of the week is Rance Higgins. Congratulations to Rance!
Grade 4…Mrs. Vandagriff
This week the fourth grade is very busy. We are beginning a new chapter in Tennessee History over the American Revolution. In Science, we are learning about measurement.

Great show by the students for Veteran’s Day! Boxes of items for the troops are in the process of being boxed and shipped. Thanks from the troops for remembering them. (Message from: LTC. Brent D. Bush) The Holocaust will be studied using a Webquest on the Internet. Students have directions so they can work independently at home. Test in Science and Spelling are planned for Friday.

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow day! Our reading stories for this week are "A Big Day for Jay" and "Lost". We will have our spelling test on Friday. The bonus word this week is March. The kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades will be traveling to Motlow in Tullahoma on Friday to see a play. We will be leaving around 9:30. Spring pictures will be made tomorrow.
Grade 2…Mrs. Newby
Thanks to the middle school and their teachers for the awesome program last Friday. It was a very special day for everyone involved. Our class will be going on a field trip this Friday with kindergarten and 1st grade to see the play, Pinocchio. We have been learning to count money in math and will continue to practice a little longer. Our Bible lessons are about Jacob and Rachel.
Grade 3…Ms. Farless
This week the third graders will continue to study division in math class. They will be dividing with remainders this week. In language class, we will be writing a friendly letter. Our unit of study in science class is sound. We will be learning about how sound is made. Also, we will be learning how sound travels through the various states of matter. Our Monday, we will have a visitor from Homeland Community Bank. This visitor will talk to the students about banking. This should be a great conclusion to our social studies chapter about banking and running a business. Don't forget to study from your social studies test that you will have on Thursday. Our student of the week is Rance Higgins. Congratulations to Rance!
Grade 4…Mrs. Vandagriff
This week the fourth grade is very busy. We are beginning a new chapter in Tennessee History over the American Revolution. In Science, we are learning about measurement. The story we will read and discuss in Reading is called "Half Chicken." Don't forget we will have a Bible Test and a Reading Test on Thursday. We hope everyone has a great week!!

Great show by the students for Veteran’s Day! Boxes of items for the troops are in the process of being boxed and shipped. Thanks from the troops for remembering them. (Message from: LTC. Brent D. Bush) The Holocaust will be studied using a Webquest on the Internet. Students have directions so they can work independently at home. Test in Science and Spelling are planned for Friday. Continue to encourage reading at home.
