B-UMS families-friendly reminder tomorrow-Friday October 10, 2025 is picture day!
Our students recently completed a hand sewing project focused on creating custom potholders — and the results were absolutely amazing! This project is a hands-on opportunity to build essential life skills. Throughout the process, students practiced:
Time Management: Planning their work and staying on task to meet deadlines.
Communication: Collaborating with peers, asking questions, and sharing techniques.
Following Directions: Carefully executing each step to ensure quality and safety.
Each potholder is a reflection of their creativity, patience, and growing confidence in hand sewing. We’re so proud of their hard work and the beautiful, functional pieces they produced!

Let’s make this school year one to remember—with fewer than 10 absences all year long!
Regular school attendance builds lifelong habits, keeps students on track academically, and helps them grow into successful, confident adults. We’re committed to supporting every student, every day—and we’re excited to roll out our year-long monthly incentives plan to keep the momentum going!
📅 Check out the flyer for all the details and join us in making attendance a priority. Let’s do this—together!

🎃 Scarecrow Alert on Main Street! 🏴☠️
Our Student Council and SOS program teamed up to decorate one of the Main Street light poles for October — and let’s just say, it’s a must-see! The theme? A Buccaneer-inspired Scarecrow “What’s Your Goal?” complete with little pumpkins holding signs of their goals. 🧡
Now, here’s the twist… we thought the scarecrow’s head was going to be a pumpkin. Spoiler alert: it’s not. And honestly? It’s hilariously perfect! 😂
You’ll find it right in front of the courthouse. There’s a tote next to the straw bales with a whiteboard and markers — write down your goal and snap a pic with Captain Leput Sparrow herself!
📸 Drop your photo in the comments of this post — we can’t wait to see your goals and your pirate poses!
