The Bug O Nay Ge Shig Student Council recently had a fundraiser for the Round Dance which they are sponsoring at the school on March 22nd. Their Fry Bread Taco Sale at the Facility Center netted a profit of a little over $1000. Miigwech to all who helped.
Boozhoo Bugonaygeshig Families, and Happy Friday!
This afternoon at approximately 1pm we will be conducting some required practice safety drills, including our shelter in place drill and our evacuation drill. Staff and students have been prepared, and the whole school community is aware that these are practice safety drills. Students will practice sheltering in one of the school gymnasiums, and we will practice evacuation to the Bena Community Center, all on school buses. When our drills are complete, students will board their regular bus and head home for the weekend. We expect students will return home at their regular Friday times. School phones will continue to be staffed, but all of our teachers and support staff will be participating with the safety drills. If you have questions, please contact the school. Have a great weekend, and miigwech!

Unfortunately, we have a septic system that is failing, but the good news is we have the parts and the labor to fix the problems.
The repair work will take two days, and it has been scheduled for Thursday, February 22nd and Friday, February 23rd.
We will need to close the school building during those days, but we will reopen on Monday, February 26th. No school on Thursday or Friday of this week.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we need to get this problem fixed before it gets any worse!
Also, our next community event will be our 2nd Annual Round Dance, scheduled for March 22nd.
Miigwech for your patience and understanding!
The Valentine's Day Dance was a lot of fun! Miigwech to Gil for always providing us with a DJ!!

Bug O Nay Ge Shig students celebrated Valentine’s Day in the afternoon with a variety of activities. The elementary held a dance with families invited and our own Gil Applebee spinning the tunes. In the high school, the most popular activity was cookie decorating along with volleyball.
FYI. Tonight's basketball game was rescheduled for 4:30pm in the elementary gym. Any student wanting to attend the game will need to return to school with a parent or guardian with them. Miigwech
