Due to the dangerous wind chill values predicted for tomorrow morning, Bunker Hill CUSD #8 will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/16). No e-learning/remote learning is required nor offered. Since the Wind Chill Warning expires at 12:00 noon, activities and games scheduled for the afternoon and evening may still occur. Stay safe and warm!

Bunker Hill CUSD 8 Families: Bunker Hill parents should be aware that the extremely cold weather we are experiencing is currently forecast to continue into Tuesday afternoon. The below graphic is from this morning National Weather Service (St Louis) email blast. The forecast for Tuesday morning is a serious concern. Concerns include students waiting at bus stops in dangerous wind chills and prolonged time on a bus if a mechanical failure occurs. Parents/guardians should begin making a tentative “backup” plan for child care for Tuesday, 1/16 if the forecast is accurate and a snow day is required. While no decision has been made at this time, the forecasted temperatures are a concern. When a decision is made, an all-call text message will be sent to parents/guardians, as well as shared with local media outlets and our social media accounts. If it is possible to make the call the evening before, that call is typically made prior to 9:00 PM. Just a reminder that while many districts continue to use “remote” or e-learning days, Bunker Hill CUSD #8 maximizes in-person learning to the greatest extent possible. We DO NOT require or offer remote learning during school closures. There is something magical about a “snow day” whether that consists of sleeping in, reading a book, drinking hot chocolate, or just spending time with your families, we hope that you enjoy an unscheduled day off.

The faculty and staff of two Macoupin County school districts recently challenged each other to a friendly game of volleyball for charity resulting in a massive dose of goodwill, just in time for the Holiday season. Bunker Hill Community Unit School District 8 faculty and staff challenged their Macoupin County neighboring school district Southwestern CUSD #9 to a friendly game of red vs green volleyball (Bunker Hill’s school colors are red and Southwestern’s are green) game to support local charities. Admission to the game was simply to bring one item of non-perishable food. Challenges were made to the school that brought the most food donations. The result was nearly 1,000 items donated to local Macoupin County food banks. Southwestern spectators brought 598 items and Bunker Hill fans brought 391. While the Southwestern crowd won the food challenge, the Bunker Hill faculty team won the volleyball game itself. As a result, the Southwestern Superintendent, Dr. Kevin Bowman donned the Bunker Hill Minutemen jersey immediately following the game. The event was a huge success and was organized by Bunker Hill’s Misty Perez, a teacher at Wolf Ridge Elementary. When asked about the amount of work that went in behind the scenes to arrange the event, her reply was: “we had so much fun!” Both districts are looking for a rematch next year to be moved to a different venue (Southwestern High School) in what they hope will be an annual holiday tradition. Congratulations to both teams!
