In preparation for March’s “I Love to Read” week, the kindergarten through sixth grade students at the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School competed to see who could make the best book mark. This year’s winners are Tala Graves, first place, Diana Kingbird, second place and Estaban Ramiz Diaz and Malina Wind tied for third place. The winners each received prizes and copies of their bookmarks will be available to all students.
Boozhoo Bugonaygeshig Families. The Bugonaygeshig and Leech Lake community have had a number of funeral services over the past few days, with another scheduled for tomorrow. This is impacting many of our staff, and we want our people to be able to attend services for those they’ve lost. This means we won’t have adequate staff to safely operate a full school day tomorrow, including transportation and classroom supervision. So, we’re going to cancel school on Monday, March 10th out of respect for those services. We will resume our normal schedule on Tuesday, March 11th. Miigwech for your understanding, and let the kids know we look forward to seeing them on Tuesday.
Aaniin Bugonaygeshig Families!

Bug O Nay Ge Shig Families - We are going to be cautious in the morning and start 2 hours late. This will give us time to get buses going after such a long sit in cold weather, and make sure we can get everyone to school safely in the daylight. Buses will be 2 hours later than normal, and school will start at 10:15. We're looking forward to having the kids back, and to stringing together some regular school days!
Boozhoo Bug O Nay Ge Shig Families! With the dangerous cold weather, we will be closed on Tuesday, February 18th. We look forward to seeing our students on Wednesday morning! Stay safe. Miigwech!

Gooooooood morning! This is the kind of morning when making the decision about school is particularly hard. Our threshold for closing is -25, and Deer River is -32, Bemidji is -27, and Walker is -24. As much as we'd like to see the kids today, we will need to be closed on Wednesday, February 12th. Safety first. Stay warm and enjoy your day, Silver Eagles!
Bugonaygeshig Families! We have to keep safety our top priority and call a late start for Wednesday, February 12th. Temps and wind chills will exceed the limits of our policy (-20 air temp; -30 windchill) in most of the Bugonaygeshig region, so buses will run two hours late. School will start at 10:15, and we will look forward to seeing you then, Silver Eagles!
We will be having our senior breakfast on Friday, February 14th at 9am in the BugONayGeShig Nest.
