#Thanksgiving #FamilyTime #Gratitude #MiddleSchoolLife

In the heart of West Virginia, where the mountains rise high,
The dawn breaks gently, painting the sky.
With family and friends, we gather 'round by,
In the crisp morning air, not a single sound.
Safety first, we whisper, as we load our gear,
With hopes for a harvest, and memories of deer.
The forest awakens, the hunt begins,
In the spirit of tradition, where everyone wins.
The buck season opens, with hearts full of cheer,
Sharing stories and laughter, with those we hold dear.
May our aim be true, and our harvest be grand,
In the wilds of West Virginia, together we stand.
We wish all of our students and families a safe and wonderful time this week, especially on opening morning! Don't forget about our Big Buck contest!

❗️B-UMS Basketball Schedules❗️🏀⛹️♀️⛹️♂️ Wrestling to come soon!


🌟In an exciting showcase of talent and dedication, five exceptional middle school band members from our school were selected to participate in the prestigious Honor Band at West Virginia Wesleyan College. This event, which took place over two and a half days, provided a unique opportunity for these young musicians to work closely with the esteemed conductor Mr. Dave Maccabee, culminating in a spectacular concert on Tuesday evening. 🎶
Pictured here are Wesleyan's chosen representatives, they are {left-right}:

We are so proud of our young musicians who represented us so well with their talent and with their character. We can't wait to where the music will take them! 🎷


Mrs. Bennett's eighth grade Wellness classes learned the importance of drug prevention. Students were asked to research a drug and explain the problems with addiction and the health issues that occur when using that drug. Students presented their final project to the class. Here are some of the projects.
