🔬 Science Friday Post
🌎 Science starts with curiosity!

Ask your child a “What if?” or “How does that work?” question and let them investigate. Science isn’t just in the lab — it’s in the kitchen, the backyard, and even the clouds in the sky. ☁

What's your child learning in science right now? Drop it in the comments below so we can grow our Panther science community! đŸ„€đŸ‡

📂 Reminder about BMS Red Folders! 📂

Students should be bringing their red folders to school everyday. These folders are an important part of our home-to-school communication!

Inside, you’ll find important log-in information your child will need for school. Throughout the year, the red folder will be the place to check for:
✅ Important notes from school
✅ Reading logs
✅ Letters and updates for families

Please help your child remember to bring their red folder back to SCHOOL EVERY DAY—think of it as their take-home folder for everything you’ll need to know!
