This program is a great catalyst to initiate the pursuit of a future in science and engineering and is an opportunity for participants to create, build, and explore in world-class lab facilities, working alongside USNA’s distinguished faculty and Midshipmen.

It is National Counselor's Week. This is a perfect opportunity to highlight Mrs. Hensley. She is the WV State Counselor of the Year and made the State Superintendent's Update! We also have Mrs. Barksdale who supplants Mrs. Hensley's work at BMS. We hit the jackpot with these two!
EVENING STUDENT PICK UP - Please make sure that the busses ALWAYS have a clear path to complete their runs. After they deliver our students home, they go to another school to deliver more students. If their route is blocked, they are late getting students home. Thank you!
Today students learned about healthy and unhealthy relationships with the help of representatives from Branches & Contact. They participated in an activity called "In Your Shoes" and then debriefed together as a group. We appreciate the partnership we have with these organizations.
