From BMMS Science Olympiad:
We are thrilled to let you know that the BMMS Science Olympiad team competed at the Central Maryland Regional Championships last weekend. We brought two teams, and our "A" team finished in second place among 27 teams. The BMMS A team narrowly (and controversially) missed out on winning the title. Science Olympiad consists of 23 events, and our teams won or finished in the top 3 in many of them. The BMMS "B" team had a great day as well, finishing 16th overall. As a result of its strong performance, the BMMS team has been invited to compete at the Maryland State Science Olympiad Tournament, which will be held on April 22 at Johns Hopkins University.

Got Sneakers? - It’s hard to believe that an estimated 600 million pairs of shoes go into landfills every year! 100% of these shoes can be recycled and the majority of these shoes can still be reused. That’s why we have decided to start a sneaker drive fundraiser with GotSneakers. So go into your closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers that you no longer want; maybe you’ve outgrown them, they’re out of style or out of season. Place your used sneakers (with laces tied together) in the bin outside the BMMS front office. Feel free to ask your friends, families and neighbors. Every pair counts!Thank you!
