Mr. Glover's Weekly Update
Good afternoon, Raider Families,
Let me be the first to welcome you to the 2023-24 school year!! It is my wish to send out positive vibes and well wishes to all of our returning and new families here at BMMS. For those of you who do not know who I am, my name is Darcel Glover, and I am extremely proud to be your Principal at Black Mountain Middle School. This will be the start of my second year as principal and I am truly excited to welcome each and every one (new and returning) to our Raider family.
I was encouraged by all of the beautiful faces that showed up for the registration on Thursday and Friday of last week. A huge thank you to all of the educators, students, and volunteers that showed up to make this one of the smoothest registration events ever. With all of the construction obstacles, we were so impressed with everyone's kindness and patience as we welcomed everyone back to campus. A huge thank you to our entire community for collaborating to make this such a wonderfully run event.
I look forward to kicking off each week of school with a positive message to everyone. Look forward to receiving all the information that will assist you and your child in making the 2023-24 school year of exploration, positivity, and kindness, a successful one.
In addition, we look forward to having all our 6th Graders and our 7th & 8th Graders that are NEW to BMMS participate in our BMMS Beginnings on Tuesday, August 15th from 11am-1pm. This is a student orientation.
Enjoy your weekend!

Robotics
Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad Tournaments are like academic track meets. Students work together in teams of up to 15 students to compete in 23 events.
These 23 events change from year to year, covering fields and topics including anatomy, biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, geology, mechanical and structural engineering, and technology. Some events focus on theory, others involve doing hands-on labs, and in others the students collaborate to build a device that they bring the tournament. • Allows students to explore areas of science not always offered in school • Opportunity to learn about areas of possible career interest • Enhances organizational and time management abilities • Builds teamwork skills while making new friends • Exposure to subjects that help students prepare for High School and even AP classes
