Germantown Library Fundraiser

The students of The Bodine School believe in the importance of reading! To promote reading among others, they decided to participate in the Germantown Library’s fundraiser. The donation of used books will be entered into circulation or sold in the Germantown Community Library Bookstore. All proceeds go into programs for literacy, outreach in reading programs or enhancements to their library program. . Ms. Adams’ fourth grade class of seven students brought in a total of 803 books! The following four classes also made an awesome impact in the project: Mrs. Falvey’s fifth grade - 494 books, Ms. Riddick’s fifth grade - 250 books, Ms. Lee’s fourth grade -325 books, and Mrs. Blakley’s first grade class -121 books! The Germantown Library gave a $100 check to Ms. Adams’ class for bringing in the most books. The class hosted an ice cream party for the participating classes at Bodine. With the money left over, they were able to buy several items for the classroom, including a couple of games to be donated to the school toy chest at the end of the school year.

Pink Palace Dedication Ceremony

Richard and Peggy Bodine, founders of The Bodine School and generous supporters of the Pink Palace Museum, were honored by the museum on May 6th with the dedication of a picnic area in their name. The Bodine School was included in the ribbon cutting ceremony, which was moved inside due to inclement weather. The School logo and mission statement will grace the picnic area on a sign commemorating the Bodines commitment to our School. Second grader Chase B. read a dedication to Mr. and Mrs. Bodine, and Middle School Student Ryan H. presented them a beautiful handmade book from the students telling what it means to them to be able to read. Students enjoyed a indoor picnic and tour of the museum after the ceremony.

Phenomenal Baker in the Bodine Bunch

After entering her secret recipe for cornbread muffins into the 4-H Baking Competition, judges’ taste buds danced with delight. As a result, fourth grader Harris H. received 2nd place in the county and revealed yet another one of her many talents. Fantastic job, Harris!

It’s All About Presentation!

Knowing that first impressions are important, Ms. Lee’s fourth grade class spent an afternoon planting a variety of flowers around the school sign. Now visitors to the school will be even more impressed with what they see! (Pictures show Harris H., Ashley W., and Carter W. jumping in to help!)

Paintball Fun

Seven students participated in paintball with Ms. Riddick, Ms. Lee and Mr. Shames after their parents placed the highest bid at the auction. What a fun day!
