Mr. Edward's GT students attended an AWESOME field trip to the Toyota Manufacturing Plant. The students donned hard hats and safety goggles and traveled by tram to tour the manufacturing facility. They ended their day exploring the Hill Country State Natural Area.

In Mr. Heiner's words, "That's AWESOME!" Thank you, BISD Education Foundation for supporting learning at BMS.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Fullerton served in the army for 25 years as a helicopter pilot, infantry officer and aviation officer as well as an Airborne Jumpmaster and Pathfinder. He retired to begin a new career as a teacher in McAllen until finally moving to the area around 2011. He is currently a BISD bus driver and the BMS ISS room supervisor. He visited all 8th grade history classes on Veteran's Day to share some of his experiences with the students. He also talked to them about what it means to live in the United States and stressed that no one is "born a leader." It's a skill that one learns and earns through hard work and dedication. BMS is proud to announce that one of our 7th grade students recently received a letter from the United States Achievement Academy notifying her and her family that she is being awarded a scholarship based on her excellent academic record and achievements. Ms. Smallwood nominated the student for the award. Congratulations!
