Student begs for change in bathroom policy

Maddy Kennedy
November 10, 2010

Since when has extra credit been given out according to bladder control? Extra credit should be awarded according to hard work and dedication, but some teachers seem to disagree. Rather than give a worksheet or an additional assignment, many teachers choose to torture students with their own system... Read more »

Locker rooms need renovation

Maddy Kennedy
October 15, 2010

I have many fond memories from being a student at BSM, in fact, many of these come from participating in sports. Sadly, there is a price that must be paid if you are a female who participates in sports at BSM: using the girls’ locker room. When walking into the locker room, the first thing that one... Read more »

Student begs for more modern reads

Giulia Imholte
October 11, 2010

I find it disappointing that the majority of the English curriculum is still focused on classics ranging from Ancient Greece to the early 1900s. High schools, BSM included, should realize that clever and complex modern literature is going unrecognized in the typical English curriculum. Yes, there are... Read more »

In the name of sports: sacrificing our passions

Katie Sisk

Pro-Backpacks Backpacks have become an integral part of the student experience, and taking them away would inevitably cause some logistical problems.

What happened to genuine good deeds?

Danielle Kincs
May 14, 2010

From a young age, children are taught to do good deeds for other people.

The environment is in jeopardy

Chandy Clemens
May 12, 2010

Where will we actually be in 100 years? Will we have sucked dry all our natural resources, battled societies over water, watched countries become a modern-age Atlantis from rising sea levels, drive millions of creatures to the precipice of extinction, or as a civilization, completely turn against ourselves? ... Read more »

Staff Editorial: students learn importance of service

May 11, 2010

Throughout our time at BSM, although we’ve had our fair share of rants, attending this school has instilled in us values and experiences that will stick with us for the rest of our lives, and for that we are honestly grateful.

Danielle Kincs
May 10, 2010

As the school year begins to draw to a close, students are making plans for their summer break, and recently it seems like summers are becoming an extension of “Building Your Future Day.” Instead of the warm sunny days spent hanging out with friends, many students will be preparing for college... Read more »
