☕📚 A little Starbucks fun, a lot of books, and some tasty treats!
Some 5th-grade ELA students at Center Intermediate School enjoyed a fun Starbucks Book Tasting with Mrs. Laslow! ☕ Students explored a variety of reading genres, sampling different books in hopes of discovering their next great read.
With a Starbucks-inspired setup, fruit juice, chips and cookies, students completed a book rating menu and shared their thoughts on the books they explored. A "Book Tasting"....
Who says finding your next favorite book can't be a little extra fun? Great way to spark a love of reading! 💚📖

Spartan Nation,
First and foremost, I want to thank the Boardman community for its support and for believing in our students and our schools. We recognize that this support comes with a great deal of trust and responsibility, and we do not take that for granted.
At the same time, yesterday’s results do not eliminate the financial challenges facing Boardman Local Schools. We still have difficult work ahead of us, and we will continue to make responsible decisions with the resources our community has provided.
We must also continue advocating at the state level for meaningful school funding reform. Our communities deserve a fair, predictable funding system that allows us to provide the educational opportunities our students deserve without placing an ever-increasing burden on local taxpayers.
We are grateful for your support. Today, we get back to work for our students and our community.
Go Spartans!
Superintendent Neifer

BCIS CORE ESSENTIAL VALUE: INTEGRITY
This month, our BCIS Spartans are learning about INTEGRITY — choosing to be truthful in whatever you say and do.
We know that these formative years are an important time for character development, and we are proud to see our students working hard to build the values that will guide them both in and out of the classroom.
A special thank-you to our teachers for recognizing and nominating students who lead by example and demonstrate what integrity looks like every day. Your nominations help us celebrate the character, growth and positive choices of our young Spartans!
Building strong character, one Spartan at a time.
Don't miss it! Have some Halloween Fun while supporting our Drama Guild and BPAC Stage Crew!
Enter through Door #8, at the Performing Arts Center .
📣 REMINDER, SPARTAN FAMILIES!
There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, October 30, 2026, for Waiver Day. Staff will report as normal.

Red Ribbon Week at BCIS on October 26-29!! Check out the fun Spirit days, that end with our Halloween Costumes on Oct. 29. No school on Friday, October 30 for teacher in service day.
Sneak Peak of the Homecoming Band Performance! It takes practice, but also it was so much fun as dozens of alumni attended a 90 minute practice Thursday with the current marching band!
More than 300 alumni are expected, and there will be another run through a few hours before Kickoff on October 2. The Band's alumni will join them for halftime.
Seeing this in person is the BEST way--but you can also watch on BSTN's livestream of tonight's game.
🌟 CORE ESSENTIALS | SEPTEMBER: FRIENDSHIP 🌟
Friendship: Using your words and actions to show you care. This month at BCIS, we celebrated students who understand the power of being a true friend.
These students were nominated by their teachers for consistently demonstrating kindness, encouragement, compassion, and the willingness to be there for others. For those new to BCIS, Core Essentials is our character development program focused on three important principles: Treat Others Right, Make Smart Decisions, and Maximize Your Potential.
Each month, we focus on a character trait that helps our students grow both in and out of the classroom. We are proud to recognize these students for putting Friendship into action and showing what it means to take care of one another.
👏 Congratulations to our September Core Essentials honorees!
Center Intermediate students and staff spread a lot of joy as they marked Dolly Day 9/ 2-5 !!

Ms. Martin's 6th grade ELA students really loved this project!
For the past two weeks, she says they have been learning all about volcanoes! After completing their research projects, students put their learning into action by creating their very own volcano models. 🌋
Ms. Martin shared--They worked hard, got creative, and had so much fun bringing their learning to life! I am so proud of their hard work and creativity!

Each year, employees at Select Specialty Hospitals participate in a school supply drive, earning raffle tickets as they donate items. At the end of the drive, the raffle winner gets to choose a teacher or school to receive the collected donations.
This year’s winner, Dawn Borosko, chose Mrs. Tamulonis and BCIS as her school of choice -- how incredibly thoughtful!
Thank you for supporting our Spartans and investing in our students! ❤️📚

What a great performance from the Boardman Spartan Marching Band today, as they helped kick off Opening Day at the Canfield Fair.
Section leaders played the National Anthem at the Opening Ceremony, where Spartan Alum Bernie Kosar was among the dignitaries on the stage.
The Traditional Band Show at the Grandstand was filled with wonderful music from 14 bands across the Valley-- and in this "100th Anniversary Year" of the Boardman Marching Band- we could not be more Spartan proud!!
