We’d like to congratulate Bloomfield senior Miley Pinkelman for being selected as one of just 48 high school seniors statewide to receive recognition through the Nebraska Believers & Achievers Program! Miley, daughter of Shane and Rachelle Pinkelman, was chosen for her outstanding achievements both in and out of the classroom. After graduation, she plans to pursue a degree in finance. As a Believers & Achievers honoree, she will be recognized at the NSAA Girls and Boys State Basketball Championships in March 2027. In addition, eight of the 48 recipients will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship from Currency to use at the college or university of their choice, with scholarships presented at a banquet in April 2027. We are incredibly proud of Miley and this well-deserved recognition. Way to represent Bloomfield! 🐝

Happy Custodial Appreciation Day! 🧹🐝

These three do so much more than keep our schools clean! From driving buses and fixing equipment to plumbing, mowing, maintaining our buildings and grounds, helping with lunch duties, and tackling just about anything that breaks—they truly help keep Bloomfield Community Schools running smoothly every day.

If something breaks, leaks, quits working, or simply needs taken care of, chances are one of these guys is already on it! 🔧

Their hard work, positive attitudes, and willingness to jump in wherever they’re needed do not go unnoticed. Today, we treated them to a few of their favorite snacks as a small way to say THANK YOU for everything they do for our students, staff, and district.

Thank you, Darrel, Roland, and Jeff! BCS wouldn’t be the same without you—we’d quite literally be a mess!🐝
