Our theme this year is “Build The Legacy.” Each week, we are proud to spotlight students in our newsletter who are leaving their mark as true "Legacy Builders"—making a difference in our school and beyond.

These students go above and beyond by showing leadership, serving others, and living out the values that strengthen our Cougar community. Their example reminds us all that building a legacy starts with the choices we make each day.

Congratulations to Ms. Huffman and her Entrepreneurship class for earning this week’s recognition!

This week marked the Grand Opening of The Cougar Shop, our student-run store. Students have been deeply engaged in every step of the process—designing, marketing, organizing inventory, and leading sales on opening day. Their work is a true example of how learning transforms when connected to the real world.

✅ Five Transformations in Action

• Personal – Students take pride in creating products that reflect their school spirit.

• Learner-Led – Students drive the store’s planning, setup, and operations.

• Real-World – Running a school store mirrors authentic business practices.

• Learner-Owned – Students hold responsibility for decisions and outcomes.

• Collaborative – Success comes through teamwork and shared leadership.

🎓 Graduate Profile Competencies on Display

• Effective Communicator – Promoting and selling products to their peers.

• Mastery Learner – Applying classroom knowledge to a real-world project.

• Community Contributor – Building school pride through a student-run business.

• Innovative Problem Solver – Tackling challenges of supply, demand, and marketing.

• Self-Directed Navigator – Taking initiative to manage responsibilities independently.

👏 Thank you, Ms. Huffman and Entrepreneurship students, for modeling what transformational learning looks like at BC!

🛍️ Stop by The Cougar Shop during lunch, open daily from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM.

💵 Payment options: cash, check, or debit/credit card.

Show your Cougar pride and support our student-run store! 🐾
