Watercolor-style painting of a large pink lily flower with dark outlined petals and green stamens. The flower fills most of the right side of the image, set against a textured pale blue and lavender background with abstract crystalline patterns.

Watercolor-style artwork featuring a large animal skull, likely a cow or deer, centered against a pale blue background. Soft pink and peach flowers frame the skull along the edges, while delicate linework and muted earth tones create a calm, organic composition.

Congratulations to the 6th graders whose poetry was selected for the 2026 Young American Poetry Digest! It was first published in 1994, and is "designed to share our youth's talents with others, supply a national audience for student writing, and provide publishing opportunity for young poets."

Great job by Mr. Maurizio and the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade bands at the concert on Tuesday! From their first day of band as a 6th grader to the last concert they play as an 8th grader, the amount of progress they make is truly impressive!

Illustration of a gray owl with sharply defined feathers and prominent ear tufts, facing forward with an intense expression. Its bright blue eyes stand out against its dark face, set against a bold, blended background that transitions from yellow at the top to green and blue below.

Close-up illustration of an owl’s face, rendered in grayscale with detailed feather texture. The owl’s half-closed eyes are vivid orange-yellow, creating a striking contrast against a soft blue background on the left side. The composition is tightly cropped, showing the beak and surrounding feathers, with a calm, slightly sleepy expression.

Thank you to Mrs. Bukoski, Mrs. Bell, and the 7th grade team for organizing a great event for 7th graders to participate in! BMS 7th graders made blankets and them delivered them to organizations in Rockford!
