The 7th grade Bruins in Ms. Shelby Capper's class at BJSHS enjoyed a tasty lesson!
According to Ms. Capper: Did you know waffles helped inspire the cofounder of Nike? 7th grade ELA maintenance class does now! They celebrated national waffle week by learning to write claims about how waffles helped shape the sneaker industry! Of course, we had to finish off the week with…WAFFLES!
Way to go, Bruins!
BPS staff kicked off the two-hour delay with Assistant Superintendent David Parker discussing Growth Mindset and Productive Struggle during his portion of staff training.
We appreciate parent cooperation to allow for our professional development activities.
