What does it look like to turn character into action?

For BGA Upper School students, one answer is service.

Last week’s Community Service Fair brought students together with local organizations to discover opportunities to get involved, ask questions, and find causes that matter to them. Students complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service each year, building an understanding that service can take many forms and that finding ways to help others is itself an act of leadership.

The goal is bigger than 20 hours. It’s helping students develop the habits of engaged citizens and lifelong servant leaders.

Homecoming Week is here, and one week from today, we’ll celebrate another important BGA tradition: Founders Day.

On October 5, we’ll mark the 138th anniversary of Battle Ground Academy’s founding and celebrate the generations of students, educators, parents, alumni, and friends who have shaped BGA since 1889.

Founders Day is also an opportunity to invest in what comes next. Gifts to the BGA Fund support the people, programs, and experiences that make a BGA education possible for today’s students.

You don’t have to wait until October 5 to participate. Gifts made now through Founders Day count toward this year’s celebration.

And for our current parents: Classes that reach 65% parent participation will earn a Sweats & Sweets Day for students.

Middle School Trip Week takes BGA students beyond the classroom and gives them room to discover what they can do together.

Fifth graders took on new challenges at Camp NaCoMe, from time on the water to activities that called for teamwork, resilience, and trust.

At Deer Run, sixth graders kept moving through outdoor adventures and team challenges, bringing energy and good attitudes to every part of the experience.

Seventh graders learned by doing at Camp McDowell, exploring farm life, sustainability, and the systems behind where our food comes from.

In Washington, D.C., eighth graders saw history and government move from the page to the world around them, connecting their classroom studies with the people, places, and stories that have shaped our country.

Each trip looks different because each stage of Middle School asks something different of our students. Across the four grades, these experiences give students opportunities to try something unfamiliar, depend on one another, connect learning to the world around them, and grow in independence.

Different destinations. Different challenges. One Middle School experience built around curiosity, character, and learning alongside one another.

Finding your people often starts with finding something you’re curious about.

As part of Wellness Week, Upper School students spent time at the Club Fair exploring the many ways they can get involved at BGA. With clubs centered on everything from art, poetry, media, and world languages to investing, health sciences, service, technology, and more, there was plenty to discover.

Clubs give students a chance to pursue interests outside the classroom, try something new, and connect with others who share their interests.

It’s one of the many ways student life at BGA helps students find their place on campus.

A little extra joy on campus today. 🐾

As part of Wellness Week, Upper School students welcomed Goldie and Bree from Nashville Therapy Pets for a chance to pause, connect, and spend a little time with our four-legged visitors.

Wellbeing is not about always feeling your best or having everything figured out. It is about building resilience, finding connection, caring for ourselves and one another, and knowing when and how to reach out for support.

Sometimes, a wagging tail and a few quiet minutes together are a pretty good place to start.

Thank you, Nashville Therapy Pets, for spending time with our students and helping us make wellbeing part of the conversation at BGA.

Our fifth graders recently spent time serving at The Giving Garden in Franklin, where they sanded the garden fence and picked vegetables.

By taking on the fence project, students helped free up volunteers to spend more of their time gardening and growing food for the community. They also saw firsthand how individual acts of service can support a much larger effort: The Giving Garden donates more than 40,000 pounds of fresh produce each year to local community organizations.

We are grateful to The Giving Garden for welcoming our students and giving them the opportunity to contribute to such meaningful work in our community.

Clay Pinson and Parker Compton have been named National Merit Semifinalists, placing them among less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors to earn this distinction each year.

Their recognition reflects the scholarship, curiosity, and academic discipline they bring to their work at BGA. Congratulations, Clay and Parker!

Some friendships at BGA pick up right where they left off.

During BGA Reads for Dolly, our fourth graders reunited with some very familiar faces: their former Big Buddies, who are now eighth graders at the Middle School.

These students were first paired years ago, when the fourth graders were in Kindergarten and the eighth graders were in fourth grade. Today, they had the chance to read together again, catch up, and see just how much has changed since then.

It was a sweet reminder that the relationships students build at BGA can stay with them as they grow.
