Hooked them today with some Grade 7 Chemical magic. What a fun group of @DundalkMS aspiring chemists! We plated metal, created our own colorful pH scale and made solids from liquids. Thanks for a great co-teaching experience! @BCPSOutdoorSci @BCPSSci

Today we celebrate 189 students who made the Honor Roll for marking period 1. Congratulations to our distinguished scholars 👩🏽‍🏫 🏫 #BeTheLight @msnadams86 @BCPS_Sup

Thank you @DrBryantMarks for the Implicit Bias professional development provided to DMS @DundalkES @HolabirdCS @NorwoodES @LoganElementary. Are you a thermometer or thermostat?

Let us pray to #PopeJohnPaulI. Let us ask him to obtain for us "the smile of the soul". Using his own words, let us ask for what he himself used to request: "Lord, take me as I am, with my defects, with my shortcomings, but help me become what you desire me to be."

Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of our student athlete, Jermiah Brogden. Senseless and unexplainable. Please keep the Mervo staff and students and his family in your prayers.

In schools, things are hard and heavy and everyone is stretched very thin. And then one day your admin secretary comes in and tells you she knitted a student a hat and scarf because he asked and you’re reminded of all the good and light that comes in when we open our doors.

Maintaining a positive attitude at work does not mean you’re in denial about how bleak the reality of the situation may be. It means you’re choosing to focus on your potential for making a difference, rather than dwelling on the circumstances that you can’t control.

So proud of former @DeepCreekMSOne student and current @TheBayhawks Grace Ogunmodede for her inspiring spoken poem today at the BCPS Black History Summit.

It’s good to leave those leaves! @BCPSOutdoorSci @BCPSSci

Congratulations to President-elect Biden. Everyone should want our president to succeed because we need our country to succeed. We have great challenges ahead of us as a country. Now more than ever, we need to come together as Americans.
