💛 Happy School Counselors Week! 💛 This week, we want to give a huge shoutout to Mrs. Plum and Mrs. Ponder, who do so much more than their job titles could ever capture. They are listeners, encouragers, problem-solvers, advocates, and safe spaces for our students—often all in the same day. Whether they’re helping students navigate big feelings, supporting families, or partnering with teachers to help kids succeed, their care and commitment never go unnoticed. Our school is a better place because of their hearts, their patience, and their dedication to our students. Thank you, Mrs. Plum and Mrs. Ponder, for everything you do—this week and every week! 💙✨

The Central Tech Careers class has been learning about jobs in the Healthcare and Human Services career clusters.

Students have been able to participate in amazing hands-on activities to learn job skills, as well as valuable life skills. In healthcare, students learned how to perform adult and infant CPR and take vitals such as temperature, heart rate, pulse ox, and blood pressure.

In human services, the students were also introduced to cosmetology and infant care. During our cosmetology unit, they each received their own mannequin and learned how to section the hair, use palm shearers, perform a straight cut, and style. They wrapped up the cluster with infant care, where the students learned how to pick up a baby, change a diaper, swaddle, and bathe a newborn.

It’s been an exciting few weeks!

C. Biggs and G. Stephens represented the Bristow EXPLORERS class at Central Tech this week. They met with administrators, counselors, parents, and other students from across the district for the EXPLORERS Advisory Committee Meeting. The girls provided feedback on what they love about the Careers class, as well as other things they would like to see changed or added.

This year at BMS, we added a Central Tech Careers class for all 6th graders. They are currently learning about Hospitality and Tourism, and this week's lesson focus on Table etiquette and place settings. Shout out to Mrs. Tiger. We love seeing "Linking Learning to Life" in our classrooms!

This year, RRW coincided with our first essay-writing unit. Today, we were revising our rough drafts with some revision strategies I taught them, and I also designed an A.I. chat bot to specifically ask questions that would take students deeper into the revision process. It just so happens that today, we are "RED RIBBON REVISIONISTS" 💜💛❣️
