Thank you to all the families that supported their students to participate in the first ever fall review BAM PTSA Theater Show! We also thank all of our family volunteers that helped make this event possible! We are one of the only, if not the only, middle school to perform TWO shows throughout the year. Great job everyone! The students were absolutely amazing!!

Thank you to Ms. Edwards and Ms. Brody for all your time and efforts to support the students and the theater arts! Thank you to our PTSA for their support of our students and the theater arts program!

Does your student want to participate in the Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition but they are struggling to find a topic? Check out the flyer below for a virtual “Brainstorming Workshop” hosted by SULYC. The workshop will take place on November 14th and December 5th at 7pm. Students do not need to be registered for the competition to attend, and only need to attend once. Both sessions will be the same. At this workshop SULYC will be giving students brainstorming activities, strategies and tools to help develop an idea into a project. Please see the attached flyer for more details.

The Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition presents middle and high school students with an opportunity to identify an issue in their communities and implement a solution as they contribute to the world around them. Students will create a 5-minute team video due February 21, 2024, and then the top 20 teams will present live to judges on March 11, 2024. The Finals and Awards Ceremony will be on March 21, 2024, where the top 10 teams will be invited to present for cash prizes.

Registration for the Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition is now open. You will find information about SULYC and the link for the application at: www.loudounyouth.org under Programs: Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition.
