The new Biomedical Science Class has just finished their first two Activities involving forensic science! They have successfully used clear and accurate observation skills to record and sketch a crime . Activity 2 required students to analyze polygraph data to determine heart rate and respiratory changes. They even had the opportunity to model polygraph testing with their own respiratory belts and heart rate monitors. Be on the look out for their next discoveries.

Our Nutrition students put their knowledge into action by creating their own whole-food charcuterie boards inspired by the new food pyramid! Students selected a variety of whole foods to build colorful, balanced, and creative boards - and they turned out amazing!

This hands-on activity was a great way to connect what we’ve been learning about nutrition and healthy food choices with a little creativity (and, of course, some taste testing).

Check out these awesome creations! 👏🍎🥦

We are excited to share that Bertrand Community School has been awarded a $10,000 College Access Grant from EducationQuest Foundation! This four-year grant will help us expand opportunities and resources that prepare students for life after high school, including college and career exploration, financial aid and FAFSA support, scholarship awareness, and activities that help students and families navigate the transition to postsecondary education.

Most importantly, these funds will help us ensure that every Bertrand student has the information, support, and encouragement needed to see what is possible after graduation—and a plan for how to get there. We are grateful to EducationQuest Foundation for investing in our students and their futures! I'd like to give a special THANK YOU and SHOUT OUT to our awesome Counselor, Dr. Jenna Christensen, for all of her work writing and receiving this grant for our students! 💙🎓 #GOVIKINGS!

Attached is the corrected schedule of activities for the upcoming week: Aug. 31st – Sept. 8th. The VB Triangular on Thursday, Sept. 3rd is in Alma. Sorry for any confusion .

Finally! We have all of our precious kids back in the building and the halls are alive again! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and enjoyed the extra week of vacation. Before we know it, it will be May again and another group of young adults will be walking across the stage and your babies will be another year older, a couple of inches taller, and even smarter than they are today. Thank you for trusting us with your most treasured and important people. We are truly fortunate to be on this journey alongside all of you. Here's a few first day pictures of our VIPs doing our annual drill run-throughs. #GOVIKINGS!
