What a wonderful community of learners we have in our classroom this year! I m so excited to help our students learn and grow. It amazes me when I am able to teach children as young as 5 years old to code on the ipads. The Ozobots will surely increase the interest in coding and spark wonder in so many more. I have registered our classroom on DonorsChoose.org, an amazing website where individuals can contribute to public schools. Throughout the year, I will post requests for resources that will help make your child s time at school even more engaging, dynamic, and enriching. When my students receive access to the Ozobots to program, they will be able to see their program skills come to life in these miniature robots. Having access to the Ozobots will open up new worlds and opportunities for them to explore. Please spread the word about our classroom page (and contribute if you can)! https://www.donorschoose.org/bemsrobotics Please use the promo code LIFTOFF at checkout to double your donation up to $50. Please share this with friends and family via email or social media. Thank you, The Coding Club & Mrs. Wickens (Coding Club Sponsor)

Brock is the son of Travis and Jenna Meister and a 2015 graduate of BHS. Brock was severely injured in the accident, but true to his character, he is a fighter and is once again beating the odds. Many people in the community are familiar with Brock and his fight against cancer five years ago. He is truly a miracle.
