In the hallowed halls of learning,

A leprechaun danced with glee,
His mischief wild, his laughter free.

Thank you again for everyone that came out to help us!!!
B-UMS is having their annual Career Extravaganza Event! Thanks so much for all of our volunteers coming and helping us make this a fantastic event for our students!
We are incredibly proud of our talented Buckhannon-Upshur Middle School students who had the honor of representing us at the prestigious annual conference of the West Virginia Music Educators Association (WVMEA) in their All-State ensembles!
To audition for these esteemed groups, students dedicated countless hours to perfecting audition music before submitting their auditions for judging in the fall. With thousands of students from across the state vying for only a handful of spots in these elite performance groups, the competition was fierce.
Jaron Currence and Olivia Gebler shined in the All-State children's chorus under the direction of the esteemed conductor Ken Berg. Leigha Manspeaker and Scotty Woody showcased their musical talents in the inaugural all-state middle school band, led by none other than Dr. Deb Confredo, the president of the National Association for Music Educators.
After two days of rigorous rehearsals, these students delivered unforgettable performances in two beautifully executed concerts on Friday evening.
Congratulations to all of our incredible students for their hard work and dedication. Your talent and passion for music are truly inspiring! 🤍💙
We will have our Parent Teacher Conference on March 19th from 4:00-7:00pm at B-UMS. We will also have an LSCIC town hall meeting during this time. Representatives of LCIS will be in the cafeteria if you have any suggestions or ideas for us. All are welcome! See you then!
