Students in honors chemistry constructed models of the atom to show how our understanding of the atom has evolved from a sphere to the electron cloud we know it as today ⚛️

Congratulations to our 2024-2025 Principals Honors Students! They will be receiving their awards on Friday.

Human Anatomy students performed an autopsy on pickles 🥒 they had to use anatomical terminology to cut the pickle correctly and analyze the body cavity to determine the cause of death

Anatomy students learned about the 3 body planes and practiced segmenting a human body on play-dough models👫 check out some of these sagittal, frontal, and transverse cuts

Honors Chemistry students explored matter with various lab stations 🧪 From blowing up balloons to marble drops, reactions are always taking place!

Materials Needed for the Pumpkin Drop Competition We will be holding our fourth Pumpkin Drop Competition on Thursday, October 16, 2025. Students will be working in small groups to design an enclosure to protect a pumpkin from damage when dropped from high altitudes. We will be dropping the creations from the roof of the A-Building onto concrete. Each team will extensively research other designs as they collaborate to create their own. This project involves every area of S.T.E.M. (SCIENCE, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Students are requesting materials to complete their project. Materials must be at the school prior to Monday, October 13, 2025. They need a box with something to cushion the pumpkin. Some groups are going to need materials for a parachute. The items can be in any condition. This is an opportunity to “RECYCLE” items that might normally be thrown away. Below is a list of items that students have requested in the past. Any items that may be repurposed could be useful. Boxes – They should at least be large enough to hold a medium size pumpkin with space to add cushioning. Smaller boxes are still useful. Pool Noodles Pillows Tarp Bubble Wrap Empty Water Bottles Sheets Styrofoam (No packing peanuts) Duct Tape or Packing Tape Hay / Straw Trash Bags Blankets Memory Foam Cotton Balls Marshmallows Styrofoam Boxes Towels Balloons Shower Curtains Socks Orange pumpkins can also be donated. They must be at least 10 inches in diameter. The following materials cannot be used. · No white pumpkins. · No Styrofoam peanuts or other small, non-biodegradable packing fillers are allowed. · No hard materials: NO wood, metal, PVC pipe, or glass is allowed. Soft garbage cans are acceptable. · No liquids, Jell-O, peanut butter or any oily substances are allowed. · No unpackaged food. · No freezing or adding chemicals. · No electrical sources are allowed. · No Styrofoam spray allowed in or outside of package. · No glitter. · No bungee cords. Please contact Mr. Brode with any questions. (School – 304-258-2871 Extension 150 or Cell - 240-362-6522 (Leave Message)) Materials can be dropped off in the main office or to any BSHS science teacher. Please call before dropping off any materials. Student projects must be completed by Wednesday, October 15, 2025. They will be dropped on Thursday, October 16, 2025, during Mr. Brode’s science classes. Thank you, John Brode

Human Anatomy and Physiology constructed models of organs! These models show how our organs work together to keep our bodies stable and maintaining homeostasis 💪 🫀

Every student should be bringing home a 2025–2026 School Calendar Magnet today.

This magnet includes:
Important school dates and breaks
End-of-nine-weeks reminders
A space to track student absences
A QR code for submitting absence notes online

Please place it on your fridge or another spot at home where it’s easy to see. Together, we can help every student know that attendance matters!

Students in ELA 9 practices working together today to build "huts" like the characters in "Lord of the Flies" by William Goulding. They learned the value of strategy, communication, and teamwork and how one small bump can collapse the hut.
