Students have had a great week both inside and outside the classroom. We sent students to KUNA who did a fantastic job on their first run. Caroline received a speaking award which was outstanding. The students are eager to work on next year's topics. We sent a group to Magna to learn how what they do in school applies to the business world. The folks there were wonderful to the students and the students walked away with an understanding of how school and business are linked. Our PTSA helped deliver the Toys gathered for Norton's Children's Hospital on behalf of our own Skylar Harrall. He states he wants to double the donations for next year. This year we donated 512 toys! Grizzly students are raising money to support the honor flight of at least one veteran, again BMS students paying it forward! Go Bruins! 
Students inside our classrooms have been doing great things as well. Cubs social students classes are learning about the Persians and the Greeks and are having mock trials regarding the main points. Science students are learning how genes and DNA can be used in research and ELA students are writing argumentative pieces. Math classes are working through graphing and understanding how math is a language. Band students are preparing for KMEA which is coming up. 
On Thursday we had a Bruin Bash and 67% of the students were eligible to attend. We hope to see those numbers increased by the next Bruin Bash. Several students missed due to lack of attendance notes. Please make sure your student has either a doctor's note or a parent note upon returning from an absence. All absence notes need to be turned in within 5 days of being absent. We can no longer enter them after those 5 days. The end of the 3rd nine weeks is Monday. Report cards will go home on March 18th, please keep on top of student grades through infinite campus.
