🌟 Servant Leadership in Action at BCS 🌟

At Breckenridge Community Schools, we believe that great leaders serve first. 💙💛

Servant leadership means putting students, staff, and the community at the heart of everything we do. From supporting teachers to cheering on students and creating a welcoming environment, this dedication inspires us every day. 🐾

Thank you to all who lead with compassion, humility, and purpose. You make BCS proud! 👏  Servant leaders can be administration, staff, students, parents or community members.  Are you a servant leader? 

🌟 Exciting News for Breckenridge Schools! 🐾

Breckenridge Schools has been awarded a $2,000 grant from the Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies (MFBFoC) and Agent Charitable Fund (ACF) to help combat childhood food insecurity.

The funds will be used to create a student snack pantry at Breckenridge Elementary, ensuring students have access to snacks during the school day. A special thank you to Farm Bureau agent Jessica Wright for nominating our school and supporting this meaningful initiative!

Together, we’re making a difference for our students and our community. 💙💛

📱 Exciting Update for the BCS App! 📱

Apptegy is rolling out a new update for our Breckenridge Community Schools app next week! This update will enhance the app to better serve our staff, students, and parents.

❄️ Huskie Update: Weather Closures ❄️

Due to the extreme cold temperatures, Breckenridge Community Schools were closed on Tuesday and Wednesday this week to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Safety is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding during these challenging winter conditions.

So far, we have had four weather-related closures this school year. As always, we will continue to monitor conditions closely and communicate any future updates promptly.  The district is allowed six snow days each year without needing to request forgiveness from the State of Michigan or make up days.  

Stay warm and safe, Huskies! 💙💛
