Bellefontaine City Schools is proud to announce its Thursday Tribe Member of the Week.

Brooke Bahr is this week’s recipient.

Title: 7th Grade English Language Arts Teacher

Years of experience: 4 years (1st year at BCS)

Why you love being a Chieftain: When I started this year at Bellefontaine, it instantly felt like coming home. I love being part of the community here and consider myself blessed to work with some of the best teachers around, especially my entire 7th grade team. The time I get to spend with my students each day is one of the main reasons I love being a Chieftain.

Classroom motto or quote to live by: “For there is always light. If only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it.” – Amanda Gorman

What you love doing outside of school: My time is either spent diving into a new book and drinking coffee, or being with my friends and family. I love being a cheer coach at Bellefontaine and root for all things Ohio State Buckeyes.
