Student-Created Math Mural in Mr. Cox's Classroom

by Chante Brown

The images herein depict the progress on the Mathematics mural now present in Matthew Cox's classroom. The mural was created by Barbourvile students shortly before in-person classes ended for the year.

The concept was created by Sydney Jones and Payton Hembree and further elaborated on by Mevludin Grahic, Ally Davenport, Emily Isom, Ava Whitehead, and Chante Brown. The piece took three weeks.

This, too, shall pass...

During these dark and troubling times, many of us may feel disconnected or that perhaps the world has gone down, and this is it. Well, we at Bville Buzz are here to tell you, it's not over. The nation may have come to a standstill for this virus, but it is temporary. For it is in the interest of our safety we separate ourselves and keep ourselves safe from those who are ill, and also keep our loved ones safe from the illness. While in quarantine, you should cherish every moment and make sure you show your family you love them, as they remind you how much they love you, as fate has drawn you all back together.

Don’t feel your Lord has abandoned you, either. He has brought families together in a time of crisis and imbues those who fight the virus with the energy and inspiration to fight on in His name. It is getting better, but sadly, some who get infected do not make it. We, the young and the willing, must do our part to protect the elderly and the infants from this infection. As many of us are young and still in our prime, we can more easily and more readily fight off the virus than perhaps an 85-year old-citizen. Stay safe, keep distancing. We’ll make it through together.

Teacher Appreciation: Ms. Rachel Andrews

by Lucy Robinson



There are so many wonderful teachers and staff at our school, but I wanted to write an article 

about one that has impacted me the most this school year. Although I do feel bad only 

picking one,  Rachel Andrews has really helped me get through this year with my sanity still 

intact. 


 This year Ms. Andrews was my volleyball coach and the assistant basketball coach. I also 

got to be in her classroom every day as a student helper.


 Ms. Andrews was an amazing coach, always making things fun while still getting the work 

done. She helped our team improve so much, whether it be on the court or just as people. She 

is also one of the best teachers I have ever seen. She gets so invested with the kids, and 

even in the classroom she is able to make learning fun. Ms. Andrews was always able to tell if 

I was having a hard time, and she was always there to help. She is a great person to share a 

laugh with and a great person to learn from. 



Ms. Andrews is still working hard to make sure all of her students are continuing to learn. 

I wrote this article to express my appreciation to Ms. Andrews for all the hard work she has 

put into this year. I also want to thank every teacher and staff member who is still looking out for 

their students.
