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
Wow! What a great month of reading at BMS! We had 12 advisories make it all the way across America - and then some! Congratulations to Mrs. Collins' advisory for reading the most minutes in one week (3,933) and Mrs. Horak's advisory for reading the most minutes overall (12,266)! Way to go! 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!

He has also competed in 12 tournaments and received 7 first place finishes, 3 second place finishes, 1 third place finish, and 1 fourth place finish. This past weekend, he competed at the District 3 Regional in Burlington and placed 3rd which punched his card to go to the State Championship Tournament. Him and 23 other kids the same age at 66 pounds from the state of Wisconsin will compete on Saturday in Madison to see who is crowned state champion.
Broderick has grown in the sport in so many ways these past four years. He has learned what discipline, hard work, and dedication will get him. His sportsmanship while managing his emotions has gone through the roof! From making better and healthier choices when it comes to food to supporting his teammates and continuing to learn more wrestling techniques and skills. He will continue to strive in the sport he loves with the mental toughness he possesses. Good luck at state, Broderick!!
