7th grade geography teachers, Mr. Dodson and Mr. Otwinowski, found a unique way to teach one aspect of Japanese culture to their students.

The 6-2 students at Boston Middle School participated in designing and creating an Autism Awareness bulletin board. For the past two weeks, there were two students from each TA that volunteered and worked together as a team. We have students at BMS with Autism that are mainstreamed into the general education classes. It was a great experience for our group of students to worked together and try to bring awareness to their peers about Autism!

BMS students donated over 500 gently used books (picture books,  elementary, young adult, adult books) to Dunebrook Family Center in conjunction with the LaPorte County Public Library READ for Literacy program.

Boston Middle School is celebrating the Work Ethic program for the 2011/2012 school year. This is the fifth year BMS has supported the valuable community-service program. The Work Ethic program is designed to raise awareness of solid Work Ethic practices and encourage students to develop good personal habits in these areas. BMS provides special recognition for these students who are successful in carrying out the Work Ethic standards as defined by the middle-school program. Students are assessed at the end of the school year in specific areas considered important to developing good work ethic by earning points in different categories which include organization, discipline, community service, overall GPA, punctuality, respectfulness, and teamwork. Students signing-up for the Work Ethic program are encouraged to complete six or more community service hours. Last school year over 100 students participated in the program at BMS with hopes of continued participation this school year.
A ceremony will be held at the end of second semester on May 29th honoring students who have completed the program with a certificate that can be shown to employers and added to credentials for college admittance. Most importantly, Work Ethic students at BMS are taught that caring for others is important for a community and working hard at school helps pave the way for future success in the workplace.
