Just a reminder of this week's activities: College Application & Exploration Spirit Week, Halloween Day on Thursday, and Halloween Dance Friday night.
Next week is WV's College Application & Exploration Week. We will have many activities throughout this week focused on postsecondary education and awareness, culminating with our third annual Career Day on Friday! Please read the attached letter for more information and encourage your students to participate in our Spirit Week!
Our Student Leadership Council’s Food Drive was a great success!! Our homerooms collected 862 items. Since we had such a successful turnout, we decided to award doughnut parties to the top two homerooms. Our winning homerooms were Mrs. Canterbury’s and Mrs. Buckhannon’s. Those donations combined with the donations from the football game put us well over 1000 items. The Facing Hunger Foodbank reported that this was more than enough for over 500 meals!! We are so proud of our students and our community.
Some of our BMS Herdiculture students came together to assist in getting pumpkins ready for display at the Pumpkin House!
We are having a Halloween celebration on Thursday, October 31st and are requesting candy donations. Please send these to the office by Wednesday.

Please talk to your students about the Social Studies Fair. Teachers have gone over the information in class, and students have been assigned projects either individually or with a group. Pre-judging will take place on 11/8, and the School Level Fair will be 11/13.
The county has released Volume 2, Alert 1 of the social media alerts that they started last year. There is an album on Facebook with all the past alerts that were released last year.
Yesterday, we started some new classes in the 7th & 8th grades during the related arts rotation. These follow the Project Lead the Way Gateway curriculum and expose students to STEM careers. We are excited to see what knowledge these students will gain from these classes! They will be one semester long, so a new group of students will be able to take these classes in January. Our 6th grade program has not yet begun, but we are looking forward to its implementation soon as well!
