This week, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) students at Bainbridge Middle School shared a meaningful nativity program, reminding us of the importance of faith, kindness, and service during the Christmas season.

We are proud of these students for their confidence, teamwork, and willingness to use their talents to share a message of hope with their school community. Moments like these reflect the character and heart of our Bearcats. 💜💛

Students in Ms. Crawford's Read 180 Class took their best SHOT at Transitions with a game of "Around the World 🌎" in Basketball. Students were divided into teams, asked questions about transitions, and earned a chance to shoot for two and move around the Basketball 🏀 Goal. The objective of the game was to show that by using the correct transitions, students can master essay writing.

Special thanks to Coach Clark for allowing the class to utilize the gym.
