Dear Breckenridge Families,

As the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to send my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. On behalf of all of us here, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We are deeply grateful for your continued support of Breckenridge Community Schools. Your partnership is the foundation of our success, and it allows us to stay focused on the progress we are making each and every day.

Our mission remains clear: we are growing together and are dedicated to providing an environment where every student feels a true sense of belonging. We believe that when a student feels seen, heard, and supported, there is no limit to what they can achieve.

As we look forward to a bright 2026, we carry our shared vision with us:

Together we grow, One Team, One Goal, every student thrives.

Thank you for being such an integral part of our school community. Enjoy this well-deserved break, and we look forward to seeing our students back in the halls soon!

Warmly,

Wade Slavik, BCS Superintendent

Our Breckenridge Middle School students headed to Rainbow Gardens this week for a day of fun and celebration! It was a fantastic opportunity for our Huskies to get out and enjoy some time together outside of the classroom.

Huskies are officially on holiday mode! 🐾❄️

Our MS and HS Student Councils knocked it out of the park today with a festive end-of-day assembly. From high-stakes musical chairs to red cup challenges, the energy in the gym was the perfect way to "jump" into Christmas Break! 🎄✨

Huge thanks to the student leaders who planned such a fun afternoon. Have a safe and happy holiday, Huskies!

"Tried to steal Christmas… ended up stealing the spotlight! 💚✨ #GrinchDay"

The Grinch made a special trip to Breckenridge Elementary today to help send our students and staff off on winter break! Whether he was crashing music class or "helping" out in the classrooms, he definitely kept us on our toes.

It was also the coziest day of the year for our building-wide PJ Day! Even our staff got in on the fun, trading their regular gear for festive pajamas to celebrate the final day of the semester.

"Heart two sizes bigger, attitude still Grinchy!" 😉❤️ Have a wonderful and safe break, Huskies! 🐾❄️

Our Fine Arts and Music programs at BCS have been bringing incredible talent to the stage and getting our entire community in the holiday spirit! 💙💛

The commitment of our students was on full display as both our Middle/High School musicians and our energetic Kindergarten and First Graders performed in front of wonderful, supportive crowds.

Way to go, Huskies! Thank you to all the families and community members who came out to celebrate the season with us! 🌟

Our Spanish classes had a delicious hands-on experience this past Friday, December 12! Students learned the art of making buñuelos mexicanos (also known as Mexican elephant ears), a beloved traditional treat.

From mastering the rolling pins to watching Señora fry them to golden perfection, it was a fantastic day of cultural learning. The highlight, of course, was the final touch—a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar! ✨

Our 4th graders had an incredible day in Lansing this week! 🚌 The students visited the Michigan State Capitol and the Michigan Historical Museum, getting a firsthand look at where our state lawmakers work and diving deep into Michigan’s rich history. It was a wonderful opportunity for our young learners to see civics in action!

It has been a busy and heart-warming week for our Ag students! From welcoming new life to giving back to the community, these students are getting the ultimate hands-on learning experience.
