🚶 At BMS, students in the Coding class had an exciting project where they turned Microbits into working pedometers. This hands-on experience helped them learn coding while positively impacting our school! Read More 👇 The project started with an introduction to Microbit technology. Students learned to program the devices to count their steps. Each student was tasked with writing code that would enable their Microbits to count the number of steps they took throughout the day. They worked together in coding sessions, helping each other troubleshoot and improve their programs with their teacher's guidance. 🚮 After programming their Microbits, the students took initiative by organizing a school cleanup. With their pedometers, they spread out across the schoolyard, picking up litter while keeping track of their steps. This activity encouraged them to be active and responsible for their environment. As they walked, students were thrilled to see their step counts go up, giving them a sense of accomplishment. The project ended with a discussion about the importance of coding skills and caring for the environment. Students shared their experiences and reflected on the positive changes they made in their school community. 🙌 The Berlin Middle School Coding class showcased how technology and civic responsibility can work together. They inspired others to creatively explore how coding can be applied to real-life situations. Great job, students!

❤️ Happy Heart Month! We are excited to share that the Berlin Area School District is officially recertified as a Heart Safe School! ❤️ Thanks to our partnership with Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory), we have successfully renewed our Heart Safe School status. This amazing program, run by Children’s Wisconsin and the Herma Heart Institute, is dedicated to preventing sudden cardiac death through a comprehensive plan. Here’s what we’re doing: • Placing AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in our school buildings. • Forming a cardiac emergency response team. • Conducting AED drills to prepare for emergencies. • Educating our staff on how to recognize warning signs and implement prevention strategies. AEDs are easy to use and allow anyone, even those without medical training, to provide quick defibrillation to individuals of all ages. ❤️ By empowering our schools and communities, Project ADAM not only saves lives but also boosts our readiness for sudden cardiac arrest situations. This initiative is a tribute to Adam Lemel, a 17-year-old who sadly lost his life while playing basketball at school. Project ADAM is making a difference in schools across the nation, reinforcing the cardiac chain of survival. We extend our sincere appreciation to ThedaCare Orthopedics for their continuous support of our CPR/AED education program! ❤️ Let’s celebrate Heart Month together and continue to promote heart health and safety in our school community!
