Students in Mrs. Holley's Art Class are designing and constructing functional ceramic pieces using three foundational hand-building techniques: coil, pinch, and slab construction. Beginning with preliminary sketches, students plan their designs before selecting the most suitable technique for their intended form. The project culminates in the creation of a purposeful ceramic object—such as a cup, bowl, plate, or container—that demonstrates both technical proficiency and thoughtful design.
Bainbridge Middle FFA Member Maci Lynn competed in the area of FFA Creed Speaking competition held at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus. Great Job Maci!

Digging Deep into Soil Science! 🧪✨
Mr. Perry's 6th grade scientists just wrapped up their soil unit—and they got their hands literally dirty! 🙌 Our students explored real soil samples, discovering sand, clay, and silt while uncovering fascinating organic materials hidden beneath the surface.
This hands-on experience helped ignite their curiosity about what makes soil tick, inspire them to think like real scientists, and influence how they see the world around them. From decomposing leaves to tiny pebbles, every discovery told a story!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Adkins and Miss Lily from Decatur County 4-H for sharing your expertise and making this learning experience unforgettable. Your passion for soil science is contagious! 🌱

The BMS students that are enrolled in Thomas University’s TRIO program participated in their statewide annual Academic Bowl, Saturday, February 28th at Rock Eagle. In the individual competition, Tammy Benter placed 3rd in spelling and on the written exam. Piper Widner placed 2nd in spelling and Zachary Ong placed 1st on the written exam. The final competition was a Super Quiz and the students worked as a team to compete with other teams. BMS students rose to the occasion and were the 1st place winners for the Super Quiz, therefore, representing Thomas University’s Academic Bowl team winners for the state of Georgia! The team will represent Georgia's TRIO program in the regional competition in April.
A huge congratulations to our BMS students on this OUTSTANDING achievement!

BMS Pod 8.1 recently completed an educational field trip to Jim Woodruff Dam, where students gained hands-on experience in hydroelectric power generation. The tour included an in-depth exploration of turbine generators, a descent through a spiral staircase to an underground tunnel located approximately 40 feet below water level, and a visit to the facility's control room. During the control room presentation, students learned about the volume of water processed daily and the mechanisms that convert water flow into electrical energy. The tour concluded with an observation platform visit, allowing students to appreciate the scale and engineering of the dam structure. This experiential learning opportunity reinforced classroom concepts in renewable energy and engineering.
Students in Ms. Crawford's READ 180 Class got up and moving with an interesting lesson about Complete and Run-On Sentences.
Similar to Musical Chairs, students moved around the room to the sound of the beat and wrote down sentences. When the music stopped, a lucky number was pulled and students had the opportunity to give the correct answer: Complete or Run-on. If the sentence was a run-on, they had to correct it. Who knew grammar could be this fun?

Stepping beyond the curriculum to embrace learning sparked by student choice, Ms. Rambo’s physical science class is incubating chicken and quail eggs as part of a hands-on exploration. One student extended the experience by bringing eggs from his own backyard coop, creating an authentic, real-world connection for his classmates. When questions surfaced, Mr. Cole stepped in to provide a mini-lesson on fertilized eggs and the incubation process, enriching the learning even further. Student voice. Real-world connections. Learning in action.

FFA Members Charlie Griffin and Maci Lynn exhibited their SAE livestock projects at the 2026 Georgia National Junior Livestock Show.
Bold, curious, and a little bit electric — during Mr. Perry’s ELT class today, students became engineers and young scientists. Each group drew a mystery card, raced to design and build the challenge it described, and kept their project a secret until the dramatic reveal. Sparks flew as ideas collided, experiments were tested (and retested), and every solution became a miniature proof that curiosity can ignite creativity. What started as a simple card turned into a powerful influence—students pushed one another to think bigger, iterate faster, and solve smarter. By the final reveal, the room buzzed with triumph: projects that inspire, teamwork that transforms, and confidence that will shape the next problem they choose to tackle.
BMS 8th grade students recently participated in an enriching learning experience with a visit from local optometrist Dr. Lisa Martin. During the visit, Dr. Martin supported the physical science curriculum by providing in-depth instruction on concave and convex lenses. She also explained how corrective lenses support vision, how to interpret an eye prescription, the meaning of 20/20 vision, and the specific vision requirements for various careers. The presentation included hands-on demonstrations with professional tools such as lenses, cataract implants, optokinetic drum, and more; allowing students to make meaningful real-world connections to classroom learning. This experience enhanced student engagement and reinforced the practical applications of science in everyday life.
Congratulations to Bainbridge Middle School's FFA Member Macy Lynn for winning 6th Grade Swine Showmanship at the Georgia National Junior Livestock Show!
