The February BISD School Board meeting was filled with all things CTE for National CTE Month. The night was kicked off with a hamburger dinner the advanced culinary students prepared. There were flower arrangements strategically placed around at dinner and in the boardroom that were not only beautiful but smelled amazing. During the board meeting, Emma Halfmann, BISD CCMR Coordinator, reported on classes, certifications, pathways, dual credit and ended with a video highlighting our students in action created by our audio-visual class.

Bowie Intermediate students conducted a Living History Museum at school. 4th graders were learning the genre of information text/biographies in Reading classes and after doing research from books selected from the library, they wrote biographies using criteria from the teacher. The students created their poster to be the selected persons body with a cut out for their face and as visitors approached them they would "come alive" and explain who they were and their accomplishments.

We want to thank Officer Majors, Officer Bob, Officer Hudson and Officer Berryman for their dedication to the safety of the students and staff of Bowie ISD. We have the best! Happy School Resource Officers Day!

During Kindness Week at BHS this club handed out candy to students during break. They were a big hit. #RAKweek #spreadkindness #bowiebuilt

CTE Month takes place during the month of February to honor students who have chosen to pursue career and technical education to acquire real-world skills to compete in the workforce. At the school board meeting, the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees hereby recognize February as CTE Month and extend sincere best wishes to all the talented young students who have chosen career and technical education as a way to achieve their long-term professional goals. Stay tuned for pictures of what CTE looks like in our BJH and BHS classrooms in the March Newsletter.

Bowie Elementary and Bowie Intermediate were visited by JiJi, the main character in ST Math. They were so proud to take their picture with the inflatable JiJi today! WHAT IS ST MATH? It’s a K-5 visual instructional program that leverages the brain's innate spatial-temporal reasoning ability to solve mathematical problems. ST Math’s unique, patented approach provides students with equitable access to learning through challenging puzzles, non-routine problem-solving, and formative feedback.
