Congrats to our first Student of the Month for November, Natural Resources senior Daleney Baker! Baker attends BCC from Newcomerstown, where she is active in volleyball, band, and softball. Baker also volunteers for the Newcomerstown biddy volleyball program and Praise Band with the Christ Methodist Church. She is also involved in the Reach Out Planning Committee for church camp. Baker is an FFA member and served as BCC’s FFA treasurer last school year. Her Natural Resources instructor, Ms. Chelsie Kotlar, nominated her for the award. “Daleney demonstrated exceptional collaborative skills during a recent group project, writing a forest management plan for BCC. Daleney transformed what could have been a fragmented group effort into a cohesive and successful collaborative experience,” commented Kotlar. Following graduation, Baker hopes to obtain a job as an arborist. She is the daughter of Shawn and Amy Baker. She will be recognized at this evening's Board of Education meeting!

Mayson was injured while playing football on August 22, and his home is currently being modified to make daily life a little easier. We’re proud of our students and their instructor, Mr. Beague, for stepping up and using their skills to support a fellow student in the community.

As we mark the second anniversary of the Tusky Valley bus tragedy, we pause to remember the six lives lost, including Buckeye Career Center instructor Shannon Wigfield.
