Dear Bernheim Community,
It’s been a great week here in Bruin Nation. Our 8th grade science students wrapped up the recording of their human impact podcasts and are now peer reviewing their work. In 6th grade language arts students have been reading informational texts and creating their own guiding questions for a project about The Great Depression while 7th and 8th grade students have been working on argument writing units. Our math students are learning about functions and writing expressions. Social studies students are investigating and learning about George Washington’s presidency, Meso-America, and Ancient Greece.
HOOPS FOR HEART
Mr. Carnes organized the 2023 Hoops for Heart fundraiser for the American Heart Association. BMS raised approximately $600 to donate to fight heart disease. Part of the fund raiser was our annual Hoops for Heart UK/UL Game with faculty and students at BMS. The Cats started out in the lead but then the Cards took it and never looked back! The Cards take the win for 2023! Thank you Mr. Carnes for supporting the community and the American Heart Association.
