🐯💙💛 RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN THE STATE! 💛💙🐯

Our BWMS teachers are wearing their Tiger Pride with a little extra bragging rights! 🏆🎉

We are proud to recognize our Math, ELA, and 8th Grade Science teachers for their outstanding student achievement and state rankings! Their hard work and dedication are reflected in these incredible accomplishments:

📚 ELA:
🥈 6th Grade – #2 in the State
🏅 7th Grade – #6 in the State
🏅 8th Grade – #9 in the State

➗ Math:
🥈 7th Grade – #2 in the State
🏅 8th Grade – #4 in the State
🏅 6th Grade – #15 in the State

🔬 8th Grade Science:
🥉 #3 in the State!

Behind these rankings are countless hours of work that often go unseen! From weekly planning meetings, PLCs, and data analysis to data-driven instruction and the additional planning needed to provide daily remediation and enrichment for ALL students during our WIN Time small-group instruction, our teachers consistently go above and beyond!

Teaching tested subject areas comes with additional responsibilities, pressure, and stress, without any additional compensation. Yet, these teachers continue to pour their heart, time, energy, and expertise into helping every student grow and succeed.

We see you! We appreciate you! And we are incredibly proud of you! 💙💛

These shirts are a small way to celebrate a BIG accomplishment and recognize the dedication behind the rankings!

🐯 Tiger Pride is more than a ranking—it's the people who make it happen!

A special shoutout to Ronin Howard, our only 8th grader, and our 7th graders Carter Caldwell, Amelia "AJ" Chevis, Isabella Delcuze, Charles Gibson, and James Reghi, who achieved the incredible accomplishment of earning perfect scores in BOTH ELA AND MATH! 🏆🎉

These students were recognized with a special certificate and a Perfect Score button to proudly wear! Their pictures are also displayed on our recognition board in the main hallway for everyone to celebrate their accomplishments!

Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence truly paid off! We are so proud of all our outstanding students and their achievements!

Way to go, Tigers! You make BWMS proud! 🐯💙💛
