GCJ2: No School - April 18th and 21st

It was a very exciting week as the eggs at the elementary school hatched. Our 1st graders ended up with 16 chicks!!! 🐥

On April 3, BMS 7th and 8th grade Mustangs had an exciting opportunity to attend the Middle School Expo at Gateway Technical College! Students got a taste of college life and explored future career pathways through: 🔹 Touring the Gateway campus in Elkhorn 🔹 Participating in hands-on activities tied to real-world technical careers - one favorite was drawing fake blood using a real syringe in the medical careers lab. 🔹 Meeting faculty and learning about different programs and job fields 🔹Taking an interest inventory to help discover potential career matches Events like Gateway’s Middle School Expo are a key part of our Academic and Career Planning (ACP) program. They help students build their vision for the future and take meaningful steps towards achieving their academic and career goals. Way to go Mustangs! 🐎💙

It's closing night for our BMS production of The Lion King Jr. We hope to see you all tonight at 7 at BMS!!! Our hair and makeup team has been doing a fantastic job!!!

Don't forget we have After School Adventure Club today at BES!! 2nd & 3rd Grade Running Club knocked it out of the park on Tuesday with running over 93 miles as a club!!

4th and 5th graders kicked off Forward Testing this week in style! As they entered the 4th & 5th pod, they were met with a red carpet and positive music! They were encouraged to walk the walk and dance it out! It was a great way to start the week!

Happy Monday, Mustangs! Here is the BES Mustang Morning Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bndVIkqgl3I

Zoom in on the map to see where your student's class ended up. Keep reading, Mustangs! 📚💙

Check out this fun and educational experience for the first graders at BES! Candling the eggs is a great hands-on way for the students to learn about the development of chicks. Students were so excited to see the little movements inside the eggs while candling them with a special light. Can you imagine the excitement when the baby chicks finally hatch? It’s a perfect way to bring science to life! More EGGciting news coming next week when our chicks will be hatching!
