Incase you haven't heard 👂, today is Principal Appreciation Day. So we asked our students and staff to tell us what they love or appreciate most about Dr. Williams and then we posted it for a visual reminder of how much she truly means to us. We love our ✨fearless✨ leader and all she does to guide our students and staff. Her assertiveness, tenacious spirit is exactly what is needed for Beech Springs and we couldn't be more grateful. Check back throughout the day to hear from our Panther Nation and learn just a little bit more about Dr. Williams.
Students created a monthly budget 💰based on expenses and jobs in the winter of 1933 during the Great Depression, eyes were opened to just how hard life would have been.
🧩Our 8th grade scientists dove into the world of fossils and relative dating with an interactive puzzle challenge! Using "nonsense" cards, students had to uncover the hidden logic and piece together the correct sequence---turning confusion into discovery! 🔍🦴

Ms. Johnson’s 6th grade historians were on a mission earlier this week! Students took charge of their learning with a Wicked Hydra Eduprotocol activity, diving into images from our Middle Ages unit.

So proud of the way these young scholars brought history to life!

We have an amazing staff here at Beech. When students were struggling to understand a math concept, our math interventionist, Mrs. Kinard stepped in to teach it with fresh eyes and a hands on demonstration. We love the support our staff has for each other and how they have the same goals-our student's needs! 💜
"Our little bud." 🌹Students in 8th grade science partnered in pairs to create a little bud. They flipped their sticks to see which allele they'd pass on to their offspring and what genetic trait that would be. 🧬Then they took all the phenotypes and created their little bud. 🌸🌷
