Principal's Century Club: Students are encouraged to read throughout the summer months and school year and keep a record of the number of pages and book titles which have been read. Forms for recording are distributed to students at the end of the school year and are available in the office. Students reading 7,000 pages and/or 100 books at an appropriate reading level will qualify for an overnight celebration. The deadline for this program is in March.
Young Hoosier Book Award Club: Students are encouraged to read twenty books identified on the Hoosier Book Club reading list. Computerized tests over each book are given to participating students. Literary discussion groups meet to discuss their reading throughout the year during the lunch hour. Trophies are awarded to students successfully completing all twenty books. Books read for this program may also be recorded on Century Club forms.
Beginning Band: This after-school group meets weekly to introduce basic beginning band instruction and is open to 5th grade students. Parents of all 4th and 5th grade students are invited to attend the spring orientation meeting. Students who have completed the 4th grade and up may enroll in the summer band program.
Chorale: This after-school singing group meets weekly to rehearse and perfect choral performances. The BIS Chorale performs at school concerts, a non-competitive music festival, and a couple of local events. Auditions for this group are held in May to select members for each upcoming school year.
