A Livestock Show Interest Meeting will be held on September 3, 2026 for anyone interested in learning more about showing livestock.
Tickets are on sale now for BMS Drama Club’s production of “Complaint Department and Lemonade” – and you don’t want to miss it! 🎭

In this rapid succession of hysterical grievances, the complaint department takes on everything from Oreo icing to kleptomania and from songs stuck in the head to the price of cheese and on and on and on. Could there be a glimmer of hope for anyone in charge of a complaint department?

Team 8.2 has been busy exploring Physical & Chemical Changes!
Students wrapped up their Physical & Chemical Changes unit by putting their detective skills to work! They identified unknown substances by observing how they interacted with water, vinegar, and iodine, then investigated which drink produced the highest geyser and explored how density affected the eruption.
Meanwhile, Ms. Rambo's ELT class got hands-on with physical and chemical changes through a Pancakes and Waffles lab. Science is always better when you can see it, test it, and experience it.
