February 16, 2016


I hope all who attended enjoyed EdCampBHSLJHSOHMS Friday. Still, dollar for dollar, your best professional development option.

Head's Up


George Washington's actual birthday is February 22nd.

Next week is Engineer's Week - Whoot! Whoot! What could be cooler than trains all week long! Thomas the Tank Engine Videos, Youtube narrow escape and train vs. (fill in the blank) videos. It's a whole week of fun for engineers. If you want to engage kids in some STEAM activities (other than pulling the cord that releases steam through the whistle) here's a few resources:

Discover Engineers Week
National Society of Professional Engineers
National Society of Black Engineers

If you've got some unique activities planned, or just plain o' interesting activities planned, let us know at bpssocialmedia@bentonvillek12.org.

It's a leap year, find a novel way to celebrate leap year day, February 29th.

February 23rd - March 1st is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week.

March is also Music in our Schools Month and Youth Art Month.
