🎤 B-UMS is bursting with pride!
This past weekend, three incredible students shined bright on BIG stages in honor choirs—and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate them!
✨ Lucy Hipes and ✨ Kapri Gerwig traveled to Charleston, WV to perform with the WVMEA All-State Children’s Chorus!
These two worked their hearts out through hours of rehearsals and wrapped up Friday night with an absolutely amazing concert. Way to represent B-UMS with talent and dedication!
🌟 Thomas Loudin took his voice all the way to Memphis, TN for the ACDA Southern Regional Children’s Honor Choir!
Thomas was one of the only students chosen from West Virginia—WOW! He sang alongside students from 10 different states, and to top it off…
🎶 He earned a solo in Saturday’s concert! Outstanding!
👏 Huge congratulations to Lucy, Kapri, and Thomas!

🚀✨ STATE CHAMPION ALERT! ✨🚀 We are beyond proud to celebrate Ben McCune, who earned 🥇 1st Place at the State Science and Engineering Fair in the Physics & Astronomy Division at the West Virginia State Science Fair! 🌌🔬 Ben’s winning project, “Whee! How Much Track to Loop the Loop?”, wasn’t just a cool idea—it was serious science in action. Ben put in real work, conducting over 200 trials, each one carefully documented with multiple data points. His dedication, precision, and persistence truly set his project apart from the competition. Competing against some of the brightest young scientists in the state, Ben’s work stood out for its depth, creativity, and scientific rigor. This achievement is a powerful example of what happens when curiosity meets hard work and determination. This is not just a win for Ben, but a moment of pride for our entire school community. His success inspires us all to ask big questions, think boldly, and never stop exploring. ⭐ 👏 Congratulations, Ben! We can’t wait to see where your passion for physics and discovery takes you next. The future is bright—and it’s powered by minds like yours!
