Mr. Robb Holla will be our guest speaker at BMS on Tuesday at 9am to speak about the dangers of drugs and vaping. His website states the following about him: Statistically, Robb Holla should be dead or in jail. But his success as a preeminent author, speaker, and youth empowerment speaker is living proof that your past does not determine your future. Severe speech impediments, major third-degree burns as a toddler, and decades of bullying only served to motivate Robb to find a way to impact others.
Robb is renowned for his ability to speak to teens on their level, grab their attention, make them laugh, and leave a lasting impact that they will not soon forget. Please contact BMS if you do not want your student to attend.
Some of our middle schoolers took their Saturday to go on a trip to the Oklahoma Teen Book Con in Tulsa today. They met authors of books, learned about publishing, writing, and reading great books. Thank you, #oktbc, for offering a fantastic opportunity for Oklahoma teens.
Mr. Mckinzie's 6th grade geography class built structures to learn about teamwork and how a monarchy works. The oldest in the group got to be the king/queen and give orders as well as approval.

7th graders had a visit last week from Finn, a miniature potty belly pig. Her visit turned into a grade level cross curricular project. In Math, students solved problems about purchasing ham at the store. In Reading, students read an informational article about how pigs behave to practice reading skills. In English students completed a mini-research assignment over pig breeds and wrote a descriptive paragraph using sensory language. Thanks to Mrs. Edens for bringing her new baby for us all to enjoy!
In Mrs. Edens's 7th grade English class, students have been learning about email etiquette all week. After learning the essential parts of an email and learning how to appropriately compose an email using proper language and tone, students worked in teams to draft an email message on these Super-Sized email templates. Their final assessment will be to compose a genuine email from their school gmail accounts and send it to Mrs. Edens.
Our Middle Faculty and Staff would be no where without our Custodians. Join us in celebrating Tori and Jeremiah for all the hardwork they do every day. They keep our campus looking Pirate Ship worthy.
BMS 6th grade students used meter sticks to measure the diameter of bubbles to determine which brand of dish soap blows the biggest bubble in Ms. Capp's class.
BMS has the best culture!! Students had fun trying to figure out all the colors and teams for our luncheon. Go Pirates
Ms. Davis, our middle school band teacher and assistant high school band teacher, captured this awesome photo this morning. While the high school band practiced the national anthem, these students dropped what they were doing to salute the flag while it played! That makes us SO PROUD!
Each year our 8th graders have an opportunity to visit Central Tech to see the programs offered. It was a great trip today! We even found some of our former Pirate students that are now teaching at Tech and some of our current high school students in class! So many opportunities for our students and young adults!
Students working in Coach Richerson's and Ms. Johnson's math classes. Math skills are important!
