Students in Mrs. Holley's Art Class are designing and constructing functional ceramic pieces using three foundational hand-building techniques: coil, pinch, and slab construction. Beginning with preliminary sketches, students plan their designs before selecting the most suitable technique for their intended form. The project culminates in the creation of a purposeful ceramic object—such as a cup, bowl, plate, or container—that demonstrates both technical proficiency and thoughtful design.
Bainbridge Middle FFA Member Maci Lynn competed in the area of FFA Creed Speaking competition held at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus. Great Job Maci!

Digging Deep into Soil Science! 🧪✨
Mr. Perry's 6th grade scientists just wrapped up their soil unit—and they got their hands literally dirty! 🙌 Our students explored real soil samples, discovering sand, clay, and silt while uncovering fascinating organic materials hidden beneath the surface.
This hands-on experience helped ignite their curiosity about what makes soil tick, inspire them to think like real scientists, and influence how they see the world around them. From decomposing leaves to tiny pebbles, every discovery told a story!
A huge thank you to Mrs. Adkins and Miss Lily from Decatur County 4-H for sharing your expertise and making this learning experience unforgettable. Your passion for soil science is contagious! 🌱

BMS Pod 8.1 recently completed an educational field trip to Jim Woodruff Dam, where students gained hands-on experience in hydroelectric power generation. The tour included an in-depth exploration of turbine generators, a descent through a spiral staircase to an underground tunnel located approximately 40 feet below water level, and a visit to the facility's control room. During the control room presentation, students learned about the volume of water processed daily and the mechanisms that convert water flow into electrical energy. The tour concluded with an observation platform visit, allowing students to appreciate the scale and engineering of the dam structure. This experiential learning opportunity reinforced classroom concepts in renewable energy and engineering.
Students in Ms. Crawford's READ 180 Class got up and moving with an interesting lesson about Complete and Run-On Sentences.
Similar to Musical Chairs, students moved around the room to the sound of the beat and wrote down sentences. When the music stopped, a lucky number was pulled and students had the opportunity to give the correct answer: Complete or Run-on. If the sentence was a run-on, they had to correct it. Who knew grammar could be this fun?

Stepping beyond the curriculum to embrace learning sparked by student choice, Ms. Rambo’s physical science class is incubating chicken and quail eggs as part of a hands-on exploration. One student extended the experience by bringing eggs from his own backyard coop, creating an authentic, real-world connection for his classmates. When questions surfaced, Mr. Cole stepped in to provide a mini-lesson on fertilized eggs and the incubation process, enriching the learning even further. Student voice. Real-world connections. Learning in action.
Congratulations to Bainbridge Middle FFA member Maci Lynn for winning Champion Market Gilt at the 2026 Georgia National Junior Livestock Show.
