🎢 🎡 PLTW goes full amusement park!
PLTW students are turning ideas into action! Student teams started by drafting detailed, scale maps of their very own amusement parks—with rides, concessions, restrooms, walking paths, and everything in between. Now, those plans are coming to life as they build roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and other attractions using cardboard, wood, and anything else they can creatively repurpose.
It’s engineering in action—where imagination, teamwork, and real-world design come together to create an entire amusement park from scratch! 🌟

❄️🏅 The 7th grade Winter Olympics have begun at BMS!
Our 7th grade ELA and Geography students are diving into their exciting new “Winter Olympics” unit — and the competition is already heating up! 🔥
Students participated in a draft and selected a country to represent and cheer on during the real Winter Olympics. They’ve been busy learning all about their chosen countries and exploring the rich history of the Olympic Games.
Up next? Mapping skills, medal design, the torch relay, host cities, and the wide variety of Olympic events. As they learn, students are creating materials that will be used in competitions — and yes, medals will be awarded! 🥇🥈🥉
Excitement filled the halls today as the first competition kicked off! Teams had 20 minutes to use everything they’ve learned to design a country-themed wall display.
Next Thursday, we’ll host our very own Opening Ceremony, followed by several Winter Olympic-style events right here at BMS!
Let the games begin! ❄️🏆
🥤🍓 Smoothie time in BMS Foods Class!
Students whipped up homemade smoothies and compared them to store-bought versions—then discovered that homemade is the healthier (and tastier) choice!

🖥️ Project Lead the Way App Creator students have been diving into the question “What is a computer?” Using Snap Circuits, students are modeling computer hardware and exploring how different components work together. It’s been exciting to see their problem-solving skills and curiosity come to life through hands-on learning!
