GCJ2: No School - April 18th and 21st

On April 3, BMS 7th and 8th grade Mustangs had an exciting opportunity to attend the Middle School Expo at Gateway Technical College! Students got a taste of college life and explored future career pathways through: 🔹 Touring the Gateway campus in Elkhorn 🔹 Participating in hands-on activities tied to real-world technical careers - one favorite was drawing fake blood using a real syringe in the medical careers lab. 🔹 Meeting faculty and learning about different programs and job fields 🔹Taking an interest inventory to help discover potential career matches Events like Gateway’s Middle School Expo are a key part of our Academic and Career Planning (ACP) program. They help students build their vision for the future and take meaningful steps towards achieving their academic and career goals. Way to go Mustangs! 🐎💙
