Bothwell Middle School

Happy National Principals Day to our very own, Mr. Reichel! Without a principal, a school would not operate on a daily basis. They set the academic tone by encouraging students to thrive. They implement their vision through dedication and determination to provide a successful and positive environment for students and teachers. Throughout the academic year, school principals are committed to leading students toward a prosperous future. They support and guide quality teachers and staff, resulting in productive learning environments for our children. A big THANK YOU to Mr. Reichel and all he does to support students and all the staff here at BMS!

Look at all the fun activities planned for our Community Arts Night at Bothwell! Join us Thursday May 7th from 5-8pm in the Bothwell Cafeteria for a free, fun-filled evening. Bring your families, grandparents & siblings are welcome. We look forward to seeing you!

Happy National School Counseling Week! From February 2–6, we’re celebrating this year’s theme: Amplify.

We’ll be sharing posts all week about how our Bothwell counselors highlight student voices and help their potential grow. Our counselors are experts at "mic-dropping" some serious wisdom and support when students need it most. Check back daily to see how they help our students shine!

Yeti's, lunchboxes, and hoodies; oh my! We have lost and found items ready to be picked up by the gym lobby today and tomorrow for Parent Teacher Conferences.

As a reminder, conferences are 4:30-7:30 today and 12:00 -3:00, then 4:30 to 7:30 tomorrow. Students are released at 11:10 on Thursday and Friday. Bothwell Teachers look forward to seeing you and giving you updates on your student.

November is here tomorrow, and The Action for Happiness is encouraging you to try something new! See if you can do something new, even a couple times each week. This is one way we can keep our brains and bodies happy!

Our Lost and Found is overflowing with your student's items: notebooks, lunch boxes, hoodies, waterbottles, etc. Please encourage them to look for anything they cannot find at home. We will have items out at Parent Teacher Conferences on November 12th and 13th for families to look through, too.

Greetings from your school counselors!

Congratulations to the Bothwell Girl's 7th and 8th Grade Track Team. They finished first place in the UP Region 8 Track Meet!

Yesterday, our 8th grade students had the exciting opportunity to visit Northern Michigan University as the culminating event of their career and college exploration with Ms. Delpier and Ms. Teasley. During the visit, students toured the residence halls, participated in a collaborative learning experience in Jamrich Hall classrooms, and explored the Jacobetti Complex, where they learned about a variety of hands-on career paths. Students also enjoyed lunch at the Northern Lights Dining Center, giving them a true taste of campus life. Upon their return to BMS, teachers noted that many students had enthusiastic conversations about potential college plans and career interests sparked by the visit. We are incredibly grateful to Northern Michigan University for hosting our students and to the parents who volunteered their time to help make this experience possible. Opportunities like this leave a lasting impression and help inspire our students as they begin thinking about their futures.

We stumbled upon a few 5th grade camp photos and couldn’t resist the idea, so we recreated them at 7th grade camp! Same poses, same goofy smiles, new memories! Swipe to see the then-and-now magic, proof that some things change, but camp traditions are forever. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft for making this happen!

Day 3 is in the books, and what a day and night it was! After a full day of adventures, our campers lit up the evening with the much-anticipated Neon Dance! Glow sticks? Check. Face paint? Everywhere. Dance moves? Absolutely unforgettable. Great day spent at camp 🩷

It may have been a chilly day up at Bay Cliff, but our 7th graders brought the warmth with their enthusiasm, curiosity, and awesome attitudes! From hands-on science activities to outdoor adventures, these students didn’t let the cooler weather slow them down. They asked great questions, worked together, and showed what learning outside the classroom is all about. We’re so proud of how they’re embracing every moment at camp and we can’t wait for more fun tomorrow!

What an incredible kickoff to camp! The energy was high, the smiles were big, and the curiosity was contagious. Bay Cliff Day #1 = success ❤️
