Congratulations to our B-UMS Volleyball Team for winning the Neil & Esther Messenger Volleyball Tournament @ RCB! After 13+ hours, and some very tough competition, the Lady BUCS go home champions! 🏐🏆🥇
B-UMS Boys Basketball and siblings participated in The Parish House Hunger Walk Saturday Morning before practice. We had so many and they gave generously to the community! So proud of these kids!
Our B-UMS Wellness teachers are dedicated to helping students get healthier in Upshur County! Through an exciting partnership with Upshur County Commissioner Kristie Tenney and West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey, our students are taking part in the Mountaineer Mile every Tuesday and Thursday during Wellness class. Each session, students complete a 15-minute endurance run while tracking their laps using county technology.
We are thrilled to recognize our top three students for their amazing efforts so far:
🥇 Gunnar Claypool, 8th grade - 15.1 Miles
🥈 Emory Hall, 8th grade- 15 Miles
🥉 Will Frye, 8th grade- 13.5 Miles
Together, our 7th and 8th grade students have completed 1,784 miles this first semester – the distance from Upshur County to Thompson Springs, Utah! We can’t wait to welcome our 6th grade students into the program after their Health rotation next week!
Let’s keep moving, Buccaneers!

Estimados padres/tutores: Les recordamos que todos los estudiantes deben tener su cartilla de vacunación al día en el sistema escolar, de acuerdo con la ley estatal y la política del distrito. Si la cartilla de vacunación de su hijo/a está incompleta o falta, no se le permitirá permanecer en la escuela hasta que se le hayan administrado las vacunas requeridas y se haya entregado la documentación correspondiente a la secretaría. Los estudiantes que no cumplan con las pautas de vacunación requeridas serán enviados a casa y solo podrán regresar una vez que se reciba el comprobante de vacunación. Gracias por su pronta atención a este asunto y por ayudarnos a mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro y saludable para todos los estudiantes. ¡Esperamos con ansias el primer día de clases!
