| And the winner of LakeShake is...Tristan Berzins! Round 6 had the students going Chick-fil-A's corporate headquarters in Atlanta and present a new potential restaurant that could be franchised. They are focusing on the culture of the restaurant, a marketing ploy, characteristics of their staff, and of course, a sample menu. Many, many thanks to Mr. Thompson, the 5th grade team, community and parent volunteers, and the LCEU staff and students. |

Blythewood Middle School is having their annual BMS Pathways to Success on Thursday, April 20th, 6:00 p.m., beginning in the school gym. The previous orientation in January provided information for those families considering expanded choice, while this program will be focusing on making a successful transition for those students and their parents who will be attending Blythewood Middle this Fall. You will learn about summer opportunities like the BMS JumpStart Camp, BMS Charger Pride Summer Enrichment and afterschool program; receive information about summer reading activity, the 6th grade supply list, and information about enrichment offerings. Additionally, you will find out what Charger Kick-Off is all about and how you can receive information and keep in touch. The evening provides an opportunity to visit the 6th grade area classrooms and meet the teachers. Our goal is to provide tools for a smooth transition from elementary school to the middle school. We are looking forward to meeting and working with you soon.
