As we prepare for the second half of the school year, it is vital as a school Leadership Team for us to stop to reflect on our school-wide CIP (Continuous Improvement Plan) Goals to analyze where we are with action steps and strategies to support key academic levers. I am so proud of the reflective dialogue and courageous conversations that took place under the facilitation of teacher leaders in our building, owning the work with shared accountability. We are eager to make the necessary shifts to support growth in student achievement.

A Day On for BAMO Nation! Our BAMO Dazzling Dolls and Gents were featured in the Gwinnett County MLK Day Parade! They were confident along the parade route and this opportunity allowed for more exposure across metro Atlanta. As the spectators cheered on, many asked if they were a performing arts school. BAMO is on the MOVE!

BAMO goes hard in celebrating the 100th day of school! As in years past, we always celebrate 100 days of school in grand style! This year put the icing on the top as we have put several academic systems in place to support literacy, math, and growing teacher capacity. These efforts have yielded tremendous growth in our overall collective teacher efficacy. As a school, we have also been more intentional in focusing on supporting our new staff and improving our overall school culture! We had to pause and reflect on the first one hundred days of school!
Academic achievement is supported at BAMO by consistently exposing our students to content area contests and district representation. BAMO is proud of our Spelling Bee Winners who represented us at the APS Spelling Bee, as well as those students who went on to place in the APS Science Fair, and APS Technology Fair! BAMO is consistently dedicated to pushing our students to greatness! For the first time ever, we even had a 3rd grader to place at the district level! As a principal, I truly appreciate the sponsors who put in countless hours from our school to ensure our students are ready to compete and showcase projects!
