His ability to connect with kids and staff alike makes it feel as though he’s been part of the BeMS team for years. From his engaging classroom presence to the laughter-filled 'Tuesday Mr. Cochran Carline Comedy Hour,' Mr. Cochran brings joy, creativity, and a sense of community that brightens every day. Keep on keepin' on, sir! 👊”
The one word Officer B used to describe him: **Kindhearted** 💛

Our 6th grade scientists got moving with a **Four Corners activity** this week! 🌎 Students were given different situations and had to decide if they showed a **positive**, **negative**, or **trade-off** human impact on the environment — with a “not sure” corner for those still thinking it through.
Once everyone picked their spot, they explained their reasoning and learned from one another’s perspectives. 💬👏
Hands-on learning + great discussions = science success! 🔬💚 #BeMSHornets #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInAction

Mrs. Weaver turned review time into an adventure!
Last week, her 6th graders went on a two-day “hiking” experience inside the classroom as they prepared for their CSA. From trail maps to checkpoints, students climbed their way back through the content in a fun and engaging way! ⛰️🎒📚
