Family Budgeting Experts

Question:  What do students take away from learning how to manage a family budget when you only bring home $10 an hour?

Answer:  That it’s hard to make ends meet! :(

Congratulations to these 6th graders for winning the Class Cup trophy for best family budgeting! Great job!

Attitudes & Behaviors Challenge

Hip Hip Hooray!  Hip Hip Hooray!  Way to go to these 1st quarter 7th grade Career Discovery students for winning the House Cup trophy for best presentation of our Acceptable and Unacceptable Attitudes’ and Behaviors’ Challenge.  Do you have acceptable attitudes and behaviors?  Your success in the future depends upon it!

It’s Inspiration Time!

Every quarter in the BMS Career Center, each grade level class watches a motivational movie to inspire them on to greatness in life.  For 6th graders, it’s Facing the Giants, for 7th graders, it’s Gifted Hands, and for 8th graders, it’s To Save a Life.  My students absolutely love these movies and are so pumped up after watching them.  Hopefully, they will take that energy and change the world! 
Yep!  It’s another good week in the BMS Career Center! 🙂

Building a Bridge to the Future

This week, all grade levels  have been working on meeting the Georgia Bridge Act requirements.  Sixth grade students complete an interest inventory, 7th grade students choose career clusters and complete the Reality Check activity, and 8th grade students decide on occupation(s) they might be interested in pursuing in the future.  

The earlier students figure out what they want to do with their lives, the better!
