I was able to attend State FFA for the 1st time in Cheyenne this year. Such a neat experience with a great group of BMHS students! They were busy the whole week- lots of competitions and tours. I hope our FFA program continues to build, as we do have a position advertised for an Ag/CTE teacher next year. Spread the word! FFA is a great opportunity for our students.

BES 5th graders stepped into leadership roles by teaching 1st and 2nd graders how to play some of our most popular playground games—especially those that can sometimes lead to conflict. They focused on explaining rules, modeling fair play, and helping younger students work through disagreements. Through this experience, students practiced cooperation, communication, and problem-solving, showing strong leadership by turning challenging situations into opportunities for teamwork and growth.

Mr. Aagard's 5th Grade Science class took on the 2026 boat float challenge. Students were tasked with researching, planning, and building a boat that would go 10 feet. It was fun, project-based learning that students really enjoyed. There were many creative and fun designs.

BHS students proudly continued their long-standing tradition of participating in the American Dream Writing Contest, an opportunity we have embraced for many years. As part of the contest, students reflect on the Ten Cowboy Ethics, thoughtfully exploring what these values—such as honesty, courage, and hard work—mean in their own lives and communities. This year, freshman Kysen Bullinger earned top honors for Burlington with his outstanding submission, demonstrating both strong writing skills and a deep understanding of these timeless principles. Kysen will now advance to the state-level competition in Casper, representing Burlington with pride and continuing the school’s legacy of excellence in this meaningful event. CONGRATULATIONS, Kysen!
