Seventh-grade students have been exploring cells, DNA, and genetics. In our DNA extraction lab, they mashed strawberries, added a salty, soapy solution, filtered the mixture, and poured in rubbing alcohol to break open the cell nuclei and cause the DNA from all the strawberry’s cells to precipitate, or clump together. The DNA was visible without a microscope and had a slightly slimy texture. Seeing the real, stringy DNA in front of them helped connect the illustrations we’ve been studying to an actual, tangible example.

Dear 8th Grade Parents and Guardians,
Over the next few weeks, our 8th grade students will begin the process of learning about high school graduation requirements and selecting classes for their freshman year. Counselors from BSHS will be working directly with students during the school day to guide them through this process.
Below is an overview of the upcoming enrollment activities and important dates:
Friday, January 30
During Advisory, all 8th grade students will watch an informational Pre-Enrollment video explaining the high school course selection process. If a student is absent or if families would like to view the video, it will also be available in the Class of 2030 Google Classroom beginning Friday.
Tuesday, February 3
BSHS counselors will visit CMS and work with students during their Social Studies classes to complete a Pre-Enrollment form.
Tuesday, February 10
BSHS counselors will return to CMS and assist students during their Science classes with entering their course requests into Skyward.

Our daily living skills class took part in a hands-on activity focused on real-world skills. Students prepared grilled cheese sandwiches and made drink orders for staff purchases. Throughout the activity, students practiced food preparation, following multi-step directions, kitchen safety, communication, and basic customer service skills. The experience also encouraged teamwork and responsibility while giving students the opportunity to serve others in a meaningful way.
