The BMHS Mountaineers celebrated their Quarter 2 Academic achievements on Friday 2/10 with an Academic Pep Rally hosted by the High School Student Council.

Special guest, Assemblyman for the 107th District, Scott Bendett addressed the students during the Pep Rally. Mr. Bendett shared his story and encouraged the Mountaineers to dream big and keep working hard. The Assemblyman also highlighted Mrs. Gould and Ms. Eliashuk’s BMHS Music Program by acknowledging the student-musicians who attended the recent Rensselaer All County Festival.

This year’s Berlin Idol winner, Alaina Gardner, followed Mr. Bendett’s address with a rousing performance of “Rise Up” by Andra Day.

Principal Brownell then announced the Principal’s List, Honor Roll and Merit list recipients for Quarter 2.

BHS’ Student Council kept the spirit going with the help of the Mountaineer mascot throughout the Pep Rally and held games of dodgeball and capture the flag for principal list and honor roll students.

On February 13th, Ms. Brownell held a crafting and cookie decorating party for Merit list students.

At the conclusion of the rally Ms. Brownell announced the BMHS Core Value student awards and will be treating these students to a pizza party in the coming weeks.
