Youth Camp begins next week! Walk-ins and registration on the first day are absolutely fine! Shirts may be limited, but another order can be placed if needed! Hope to see many of our young athletes there!

Mrs. Theresa Bennett, Hornet Park Elementary's Art Teacher, retired at the end of the 2018-2019 school year. One of her additional responsibilities was to oversee the Learning Garden at Hornet Park. Her sweet co-workers and friends wanted to be sure she is forever recognized for her work with the garden and our Hornet Park students, so they had a plaque commissioned to place in the Learning Garden. How sweet is this? Enjoy your retirement, Mrs. Bennett!

Although our Hornets lost 5-1 against Indian Creek, we're still Hornet Proud!

We know there are many, many positive stories about Beech Grove City Schools involving our students, teachers, staff, and programs that we don't always hear. If you have a positive story to share, please send the details to Melody Stevens, Community Relations/Communications Director, at mstevens@bgcs.k12.in.us. We also encourage you to send stories that include personal achievements of your child such as: attaining the rank of Eagle Scout, performing in a community play, earning Girl Scout badges, serving as a volunteer in a non-profit organization, etc., etc. You might just see your story in a future edition of the "Hornet Blast" or in one of our local south side newspapers. We want to celebrate our Hornets!
