BMS Kicks Off Start with Hello! 💚⚡ Today our Bolts kicked off Start with Hello week by wearing green to show their support!

Together, we ⚡strike together⚡ and 💚shine brighter💚 at BMS!

🌾 Celebrating National Farm Safety & Health Week + Farm Animals Awareness Week! 💚⚡
This week, we proudly recognize National Farm Safety and Health Week and National Farm Animals Awareness Week—two important celebrations that highlight the essential role of agriculture in our lives and the importance of safety, care, and education in farming practices.

At our Land Lab, students in the Agriculture Department are getting hands-on experience in animal care, sustainable farming, and safety protocols. 🐓💚 From feeding and handling chickens to learning about biosecurity and humane treatment, our students are building skills that go far beyond the classroom.

📸 Featured this week: Our amazing students working with our flock of chickens—learning, laughing, and leading the way in responsible agriculture. Their enthusiasm and dedication are a powerful reminder of how education and experience go hand-in-hand in shaping the future of farming. ⚡

We’re proud to support the next generation of agricultural leaders and to promote safe, healthy, and compassionate farming practices. 🌱💚⚡

💚⚡ BOLTS Basketball Update! ⚡💚 We are so proud of our BOLTS boys basketball team for bringing home a win against Collins K-8! 💚⚡ The boys gave it their all on the court, and under the leadership of Coach Hough, they showed what it means to strike together, shine brighter! 🌟 Our BOLTS girls basketball team played with determination and heart, never giving up! 💚⚡ We are proud of their effort and teamwork—check out the moment Coach Urquhart gave the team a powerful pep talk after the game. 💚⚡💚⚡ GO BOLTS! ⚡💚⚡💚
