Our next sharer of greatness is Charlotte who is going to be a 6th grader at BMS. Way to make us #MustangProud, Charlotte!!
At this end of this past school year, Charlotte started racing go karts! It’s been a family tradition since her grandpa use to race when he started around the same age as Charlotte along with her Dad who races as well!
In the Spring, she raced in West Virginia. She placed 6th both days in her class! During her racing, she is going approximately 45-50 mph driving the machine on her own!
Charlotte's dad is her mechanic and crew chief and along with the help of lots of family members who support her—she is doing AMAZING!
This summer, Charlotte will be spending it traveling with her family racing and practicing at her local track in Dousman, Wi!!
Please help join in congratulating Charlotte in her Greatness!!
Students had a blast in "Prepare to Launch: Rockets." At the beginning of the week, the students learned all about how rockets are constructed and the different forces that affect rockets. Then they ended the week by creating their own bottle rockets. They made their rockets aerodynamic by putting a cone on top of their rockets and they added fins to make the rockets more stable and in control with it launched.
The Genoa City Jt. 2 School Bord recognized Kellie Bohn with a “Children First” Award at last night’s board meeting.
The Children First Awards were started in the fall of 2015 to recognize people who were making an extra effort to support the children in our school and community. The board recognizes all the work that Kellie has done in her 21 years of service for the school district to support our children in our community in Growing them into their Greatness.
We've got a few more yearbooks left!! If you haven't gotten one ---get one NOW before we run out!! Contact Ms. Mohr or the middle school office to get yours today!
