Dear Beagle Middle School Families,
Here are some updates we would like to share at this time:
Parent/Teacher Conferences: Parent/Teacher conferences, will begin on Monday, November 9th. Please note that we will be offering one night of in-person conferences, November 9th, and two virtual opportunities for conferences: November 11th and 13th. Sign-ups were sent previously through Mrs. Pelette. Another opportunity to sign-up for conferences was also sent today by Mrs. Pelette; family members can also sign up for conferences next week, prior to the day of the conference. We thank our family members for attending parent/teacher conferences.
Acting/Musical Theatre Program: A huge shout-out to our students in our Intro to Acting and Musical Theatre classes along with Mrs. Hager and Mrs. Burton as they hosted an outstanding performance for some of our elementary students today at the high school auditorium. Mrs. Hager's Intro to Acting students performed Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax," and Mrs. Burton's Musical Theatre students performed Dr. Seuss' "Seussical." Students and our team members have been working on this performance all trimester, and they did an outstanding job! We also thank our family members that were also able to help and support with this event. This was another great opportunity for our students across the district!
Lost and Found: The lost and found is overflowing. During parent teacher conferences please be sure and check the lost and found if your child is missing anything. The lost and found will be donated to Ken’s Closet after parent teacher conferences.
Middle School FFA Program: We are excited to invite all 7th and 8th graders to join our FFA chapter! FFA is a fantastic way for students to build confidence, dive into hands-on projects, make new friends, and develop leadership skills. In Middle School FFA, students can participate in:
Travel & Leadership: Attend the FFA State Convention and go on chapter trips.
Hands-On Competitions: Compete in quiz bowl, floriculture, public speaking, environmental skills, tractor driving, livestock judging, and more.
Community Impact: Take part in local service projects and fun chapter events.
No farming or agricultural background is required! There is truly a place for everyone in FFA!
If your student is interested in getting involved or wants to learn more, please fill out our quick interest form: https://forms.gle/uorfP57Lh3ygxbv5A. Please direct any questions to Savannah Mauk, Agriscience & FFA Program Coordinator, mauks@glcomets.net.
Math and Science Day at MSU: The Mid-Michigan chapter of Graduate Women in Science would like to invite students to the 2027 Girls Math and Science Day at Michigan State University on Saturday, March 20th, 2027. This is a fantastic opportunity for middle school-aged students to participate in STEM demonstrations led by some of MSU's enthusiastic and knowledgeable students and researchers. The event is open to all students regardless of gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability status, etc.
