The St. Thomas-St. John District informs the public that the Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School (BCBMS) will engage in asynchronous learning on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. The school campus will be closed on Wednesday to allow faculty and staff to attend the funeral service of Ms. Nydia Lewis, a BCBMS Special Education teacher. Students will not physically report to school on Wednesday, November 29th. All students will be assigned asynchronous learning activities and instructions from teachers in preparation for Wednesday.
The Virgin Islands Department of Education expresses condolences to the family, friends, loved ones, former colleagues, and former students of Ms. Lewis. Recognized as a dedicated and caring educator, Ms. Lewis began her tenure at the VIDE at the Charlotte Amalie High School and then transferred to the Addelita Cancryn Junior High School. Her commitment and compassion for students continued at the Bertha C. Boschulte Middle, which later became her school home. Ms. Lewis will especially be remembered for her unwavering and stellar work ethic.
As the Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School mourns the passing of Ms. Lewis, we reflect on her legacy and treasure her impact as an educational trailblazer. We thank all students and parents for their understanding and cooperation during this difficult time.
