Bristow Middle School

🏆 Congratulations to Becky Busch – Bristow Middle School Teacher of the Year! 🏆 We are proud to celebrate Becky Busch for being named Bristow Middle School’s Teacher of the Year! With over 14 years of experience, Becky brings energy, passion, and heart into everything she does as a Physical Education and Health teacher. Becky creates a classroom where every student belongs and participates. Through engaging, active learning and creative adaptations, she ensures all students can grow, succeed, and feel valued—whether they’re playing, coaching, or leading. Her commitment goes far beyond the gym. Becky builds strong relationships by showing up for her students in and out of school, sponsors student council, coaches multiple sports, and brings the community into her classroom through meaningful partnerships. Known for her big high-fives, contagious school spirit, and dedication to creating a positive culture, Becky reminds us all that education is about more than content—it’s about connection, character, and care. As Becky says, “You don’t have to change the world, but you could change someone’s world.” And that’s exactly what she does every single day. 💜💛Congratulations, Becky! We are so lucky to have you

Bristow Public School Parents — You’re Invited!

Our CareerTech programs are growing, and we would love for you to come see the incredible opportunities available for your students!

🎓 CareerTech Open House
📅 March 10
🕔 During Parent-Teacher Night in the Commons

All CareerTech programs will be on display, with teachers and students sharing what these pathways offer and how they are helping students build real-world skills for their future.

✨ Featured CareerTech Pathways:
✈️ Aviation
💻 Computer Science
🌾 Agriculture Education
🔬 STEM
🍳 Family & Consumer Sciences

✨Family & Consumer Sciences Update:
I have created flyers for middle school students that include QR codes to apply for select classes with limited enrollment. 👀👇🏻

👗We are excited to be adding a brand-new Fashion Lab to our Family & Consumer Sciences classroom!
This dedicated space will allow fashion students to:
✔ Learn fashion design and construction skills
✔ Create projects throughout the year
✔ Showcase their work in our end-of-year Fashion Show

Because space is limited for the MS and Fashion classes, students must apply. We are looking for students who want to grow their skills and make the most of their time at school. These are classes I would have loved to be part of as a student, and I’m so excited our kids now have this opportunity!

🍪 Stop by for finger foods, drinks, student displays, and lots of great things to see and learn.

We hope to see you there!

💛 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!
