Science Olympiad is a team competition with 23 different STEM events that takes place at NMU on February 20th, 2027.

Our first informational meeting is this Monday, November 16th, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Room 206A. Bring a friend and come check it out!

Bothwell is participating in the annual TV6 Can-a-Thon, and we're adding a little friendly competition this year! The three advisories that collect the most donations will win a pizza party! Each classroom will have a designated donation box, and Community Service & Leadership students will collect donations every Tuesday and Thursday during 2nd hour. Weekly tally sheets will be shared so everyone can track the competition. The Can-a-Thon runs November 3–19. Please keep all donated items in their original packaging inside the designated box so they can be counted accurately. Expired items will not count. Let's work together, support our community, and see which advisories come out on top!
We’re starting something new at Bothwell! Every month, students will have the opportunity to participate in a fun monthly reading challenge with a different theme. November’s challenge is “Walk in Someone Else’s Shoes!” Students can pick up a flyer and entry form outside Mrs. Beecher’s classroom. Simply read a book that fits the theme, complete the form, and drop it in the collection box outside of her room by November 30th. At the end of the month, three lucky participants will be drawn to win a gift certificate to a local business! We hope everyone joins in the fun. Happy reading, Bothwell!
