Learning Environment/Culture

Breckenridge Community Schools will promote collaborative partnerships between school, parents, and community to increase communication and engagement. 

What a week! Our chapter has had an absolute blast celebrating National FFA Week by honoring the people who make our community and the agricultural industry so special.

From the halls of the school to the heart of the barn, we’ve been busy showing our FFA pride:

Appreciating our Advisor: A massive shoutout to Mrs. Stephens for Advisor Appreciation Day! Whether she’s managing a delivery of baby chicks or guiding us through leadership contests, her dedication keeps our chapter growing

Thanking our Alumni: We wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of our FFA Alumni. Our students filled a thank-you board with notes of gratitude for the mentors who paved the way.

Spreading the Ag Spirit: From serving lunch in the cafeteria (yes, that is a giant ear of corn! 🌽) to wearing our National Blue and Corn Gold, we loved sharing the importance of agriculture with our fellow students and staff.

FFA is more than just a club—it’s about leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. We are proud to be part of the 1 million+ members across the country making a difference!

It's time for the Breckenridge Elementary School Read-A-Thon!

We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we are encouraging everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.

To celebrate our Love and Friendship Fiesta this Friday February 20th, Trent stepped up to help Señora Aviña demonstrate the art of the Mexican tortilla press. He did an incredible job, and the rest of the students were so impressed by his skills. Great work, Trent

We are incredibly proud to share that Breckenridge Community Schools has been featured in the latest Fork Farms National Newsletter! 🚜🥗

Our students have been working hard to master the art of indoor hydroponic farming using our Flex Farms. From learning about sustainable agriculture to harvesting fresh, nutrient-dense greens for our cafeteria, the "Huskie-grown" movement is making waves!

Check out the full feature here to see how our students are growing the future of food, right in our own hallways. 

Our 7th-grade "Greek historians" took over the classroom this week! 📜 They acted as playwrights and performers to showcase the major conflicts of Ancient Greece through original scripts and dramatic scenes.

Whether they were engaging in intense dialogue or epic battles, they definitely put on a show to remember! 🎭

All the world’s a stage for these BMS students! 🐾🌟

Huge congratulations to our Girls Bowling team for an incredible performance at the State tournament today!

Out of the best teams in the entire state, our girls fought hard to secure a 9th place finish! From the first frame to the final pin fall, the energy, focus, and teamwork were unmatched.

We couldn't be prouder of how they represented our school on the biggest stage.

Team Work: Unmatched energy and focus from start to finish.

Achievement: Secured a top 10 spot in the entire state.

Pride: Representing our school on the biggest stage.

Personnel/Leadership 

Breckenridge Community Schools will support, recruit, and retain highly qualified personnel to collaborate and meet the needs of our students. 

Today during 6th hour, our school conducted a surprise Cardiac Arrest Drill, and we couldn't be prouder of the results!

In a cardiac emergency, every second counts. Our Building Emergency Response Team (B.E.R.T.), support staff, and students rose to the occasion with incredible focus and speed. Seeing our community work together to master these life-saving protocols ensures that our school remains a safe place for everyone.

Why we drill:

Speed: Quick response times save lives.

Confidence: Knowing exactly what to do reduces panic.

Safety: Keeping our hallways and classrooms secure for all.

A huge shoutout to everyone involved for taking this seriously and performing with excellence. We are ready, we are prepared, and we are safe! 🛡️❤️
