Viking Community, parent teacher conferences is approaching! Mark your calendars for November 11 & 12.

Congrats to the Varsity Volleyball Team!
Recap from Coach Luter: Last night, the Lady Vikings competed in our final SW10 matchup of the season, and we came away with a win in three straight sets! Not only did we win our match, but we also earned a share of the SW10 Conference title after losing only ONE conference match all season!
This is a HUGE accomplishment for our program, as it’s something that hasn’t been done since 2012! I’m so proud of this group and all the hard work they’ve put in this season.
We’re looking to finish our regular season strong with a tri tonight and a quad tomorrow. Let’s keep it rolling, Lady Vikings!

South Walnut students have been focusing on kindness and anti-bullying throughout the month of October! Students participated in a presentation with our social worker, Mrs. Church, to discuss the importance of treating others with kindness, standing up for one another, and helping prevent bullying. Students also created kindness quilts for each classroom, filling the halls of South Walnut with colorful reminders that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We are proud of our students for spreading kindness!






Yesterday, Bangor Public Schools hosted a Student Leadership summit for student leaders from local schools in the Southwest Michigan area.
The summit included students in grades 9-12 from Watervliet, Hartford, Lawrence, Bloomingdale, Covert, Cassopolis, Olivet, St. Joseph (2 different schools), Phoenix High School, Battle Creek Central, South Haven and Bangor.
The summit took place from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, with participating students having been selected by their Districts based on leadership qualities displayed in the classroom and/or on the athletic field.
The students listened to motivational speakers, participated in fun, interactive discussions and multiple team building activities aimed at developing character and leadership qualities. One of the events’ goals was to learn what other schools do to promote school spirit, pride, culture, and an atmosphere where students are “Leading with Character.”
The event was free to all participating schools and was sponsored by the Character Development & Leadership organization based in Williamsburg, MI.
Bangor Public Schools was honored to host such an enriching event, and thank you to all student leaders who participated!

Gone Boarding update from Mr. Meyers:
"Bangor Gone Boarding Students have been in the working in the shop for weeks patiently waiting for waves. We couldn’t wait any longer, and decided to do some paddle practice and pop-up practice. The water was ice cold so the wet suits came in handy. Everybody had a great time got a good workout and a small polar plunge."
