BMS Entrepreneurship: A Sale by the Students, For the Students
The fourth annual Spring Entrepreneurship Sale was another great success. Throughout the project, students engaged in hands-on learning by reviewing market research, collaborating in teams, and developing products that could be created within the school setting. Each group presented their ideas in a “Shark Tank”-style pitch, allowing them to refine their concepts and address potential challenges before moving forward.
From there, students created supply lists and worked together to bring their products to market. This year’s class was smaller, so several program alumni returned for a few classes to add products so there would be enough for the student body. This added an extra layer of collaboration and community. In total, seven unique student-designed products were offered for sale. Staff and student volunteers assisted with cashiering.
This experience provides young entrepreneurs with valuable skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and customer service, while also giving their peers the opportunity to make purchasing decisions and practice handling money in a real-world setting. A customer satisfaction survey will be conducted this week, which will provide feedback to this group, and provide market research for the next sale.
Proceeds from the sale benefit the Student Activity Account. Funds raised have already been used to purchase games and activity books for indoor recess, as well as new outdoor playground equipment—directly enriching the student experience.

First Grade has some EGGciting news to share… their chicks have hatched! 🐣
Over the past three weeks, students have been actively learning about and documenting the egg-hatching process. Eggs were carefully placed in incubators and monitored closely each day. Along the way, students discovered how eggs are candled to determine if they are fertilized, and they eagerly observed the incredible stages of chicks beginning to pip, zip, and finally hatch.
What an amazing opportunity for our students to witness this life cycle firsthand and see these adorable chicks come to life right before their eyes!
A special thank you to Bill Erickson for being such a valuable support to the First Grade students throughout this eggciting experience.

In 6th-grade science, students explored how heat energy moves by conducting a fun tea bag experiment. After cutting and lighting the tea bags, students observed that as the air inside heated up, it became less dense and rose, carrying the lightweight ring of ash into the air. This demonstrated convection in an exciting, hands-on way, and the students had a great time learning! Way to go, Mustangs!
