This month BMS's character trait is Cooperation!
During classroom guidance with Mrs. Ocker, our 4th and 5th grade students practiced cooperation in a hands-on way by working together through games and building activities like Legos, marble runs, and Lincoln Logs. Students had to communicate, share ideas, listen to one another, and sometimes compromise in order to complete their builds and reach a common goal.
Activities like these help students strengthen important skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and maintaining a positive attitude when challenges arise. It was great to see students encouraging one another, sharing materials, and celebrating their successes together.
Learning to cooperate helps our students build stronger friendships and become supportive members of our school community!

“All Students Matter” Day: Every Classmate. Every Student. Matters. Respect and kindness never go out of style.
Students at BMS worked together in their advisories during Kindness Week to create a heart for our We Matter Kindness Tree. Advisory students grappled with the following question: What can I do to help someone feel welcome and included? They came up with a lot of great ways we can continue to create a school community where everyone feels connected and like they belong.
Because when one student feels like they matter, our whole school is stronger. 💛
#KindnessWeek #AllStudentsMatter #BMS
*4th and 5th Grade Students worked on putting kind, positive messages on the lockers for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students and teachers.*
