Thank you to all students and staff for helping to make our first BMS Student Council event successful last week. The 4th and 5th graders had a blast during their Glow Fun Night with flashlight tag, snacks, and lots of running around. The 6, 7, and 8th graders showed off some pretty trendy dance moves during the many dance-off competitions at their Light up the Night Dance. Over 130 kids attended the events. It's a great time to be a student leader! Next week, the Student Council will be selling Candy Canes for Kindness for $.50 and the Leadership students helped organized the Empty Bowls Event coming up on the 14th of December. We hope to see you there!

7th & 8th grade students in 3D printing class researched then designed flying discs for a flight distance challenge. Individual student grades were based on the flight distance of their disc. Each student needed to not only design their own disc in a computer CAD program, but also select the angle to launch their disc. Wind was a factor this year on the first day, but on the second day winds were minimal. Pictured are some students holding their discs prior to a launch, and another class finding their discs after a launch. No new distance records were set this year, but we did have a few discs fly over 200 feet!

Today, 5th graders learned about their learning styles! Students took a learning style survey to find out how they learn best. Then they talked about careers that would fit those styles. Students then were able to research more about these careers while learning about other ones as well.
