Boundary County Middle School is excited to announce that our counselor Ms. Kim Norwood has been chosen as the “Certificated Employee of the Month” for the Boundary County School District.

Ms. Norwood’s value to BCMS can not be overstated. She operates behind the scenes, going about her job of serving the students, staff and parents with little fanfare, but of extreme importance to the success of BCMS. She is always available to students in need of help and works extremely hard to provide our students with the skills necessary to survive the trials and tribulations that come with being an adolescent. Teachers appreciate her willingness to be there when students need assistance in being able to focus on their learning. Parents know they can count on Ms. Norwood to be there to provide support for their children. She truly is an outstanding counselor and a wonderful person who truly is a key contributor to our school.

Everyone at BCMS would like to congratulate Ms. Norwood on her selection and thank her for all she does for our school.
