Curricular Clubs

About the Program:

BMSN is excited to begin offering an Esports club to all students and a competition team to 7th and 8th grade students who are at least 13 years of age.  Currently, students who qualify for the Esports club will have the opportunity to play Esports games at school during designated times.  At this time, Esports is a new and evolving program in our district, and  may be subject to changes in order to best serve our students.  The program will follow UIL guidelines for grades, absences, etc.  As the program evolves, we hope to add in-district competitions and expand our gaming options.

Mission Statement:

The BMSN Esports program will provide opportunities for students to use Esports as a platform to acquire critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in work and in life. The BMSN Esports program will ensure that students possess the knowledge and skills needed to be society’s game changers: educated, productive, and empathetic individuals.

Goal:

The goal of this constitution is to create uniform guidelines for the club and team as a whole in regards to club standards, tryouts, officer selection, requirements to participate, and expectations as a member.

Purpose:

The purpose of the Esports Program is to give members the opportunity to:

1. Set themselves apart as leaders, maintain a positive attitude and sportsmanship when faced with challenges.

2. Perform in team activities as designated by the program

3. Encourage school spirit and community involvement

4. Work as a team to achieve common goals

CLUB INFORMATION

The National Junior Honor Society was established to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students. The membership of the Boerne Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society has been earned by the effective demonstration of the five qualities held in high esteem by the Society.

WHO CAN JOIN:

Students who earn a cumulative GPA of 95.0% or higher can complete a packet for review.  A faculty council takes each candidate into consideration for their scholarship, leadership, character, citizenship and service. 

NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY

The purpose of the BMSN cheer and dance team is to give members the opportunity to set themselves apart as leaders with spirit, pride, and confidence, while always maintaining a positive attitude.

The Shining Stars are primarily a dance team. We work closely with the dance team at Boerne High School with dance routines and technique clinics. However, due to the fact that there is not a separate cheerleading team at the middle school level, we also work with the high school cheerleaders and learn some of the BHS cheers and very basic stunts. Our team cheers at weekly football and basketball games and performs on the field during halftime for both A & B Team Home games. 

The BMSN dance team is open to all incoming 7th and 8th graders who can maintain a grade of 70 or above in all classes (UIL No Pass No Play).

No prior dance or cheer experience is necessary. However, it is recommended in order to  perform and compete at your best throughout the season, members seek outside dance instruction.

All  members who are interested may try out for the BMSN Shining Stars Competition Dance Team. Tryouts are held each year in October for the upcoming spring competition season. We will hold a 3-day dance camp after school to learn the tryout routine. Tryouts will take place on the fourth day. We attend two dance competitions in the spring. 

Those members who are more interested in cheer will continue cheering at BMSN basketball games from November-February. We also cheer at other extracurricular activities throughout the year. 

Because our students at Boerne Middle School North will attend Boerne High School, our team will do our best to participate in Greyhound events.  During BHS Homecoming, our team marches in the BHS Homecoming Parade and performs at the Community Pep Rally.  The Shining Stars competitive team performs in the BHS Starlettes Spring Show, the Champion Charms Spring Show, and the Fabra Fine Arts Dance Recital in April.  Both cheer and dance perform at the BMSN Talent Show. 

Many of our members go on to dance or cheer for the Starlettes, Silver Stars. or JV/Varisty Cheerleading teams. 

Practices will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays before school from 6:45 AM - 8:00 AM in the main gym.  Practices will vary once we enter into the competition season (some Saturdays).

The KDOG student news team is made up of current 7th and 8th grade students.

There is a selection process for students interested in participating.

Students who participate in KDOG learn the process of live streaming, working a Tricaster, professional cameras, lights, using a green screen and more.  To see a sample of our broadcasts, check out our BISDtv KDOG YouTube channel.
