ISSUE 61 | FEBRUARY 2021 ISSUE 61 | FEBRUARY 2021BHMS wants to let everyone know that our awesome Engineering team brought home TWO special awards during the virtual Future City competition January 30th!
This year was especially difficult since they had to create a model of a city from home. However, the students did not flinch at the challenge; they smartly decided to combine this year's lunar city theme with their love for Among Us, which ended up being a big attraction for the judges. So, after a trip to everyone's house to drop off supplies like hot glue guns, clay, foam board, paint and brushes, along with a winter break Twitch stream on model-making that my students actually came to watch live (which is weird in its own right), they were able to create several amazing models! I was blown away by the ingenuity they demonstrated and their attention to detail in turning recycled household materials into miniature works of art.
The links below include an essay about our city by our talented writers (Khandakar and Thomas), and a slideshow that highlights each of the models.

Staff of the Month
My name is Jennifer Holstein and I am the 8th grade assistant
principal at Beverly Hills Middle School. This is my first year
working at Beverly Hills Middle School, but it is my nineteenth
year in the district. I am proud to work with such an amazing
staff and wonderful students and families. I previously worked
at Stonehurst Hills Elementary and Drexel Hill Middle School.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my
friends and family. I love to travel, hang out at the pool or
on a beach, watch a good movie or tv show, and cook. Every
summer I spend at least one week at the beach.
My name is Laurie Gallagher and I am one of the Sixth Grade Language Arts Teachers at Beverly Hills Middle School. Sixth grade is such an amazing year of academic, social, and emotional growth. My desire to become an educator stemmed from my Second Grade Teacher at Ardmore Avenue Elementary. Her passion and dedication to her students was a true inspiration. I often reflect back on those days in her classroom, and the true commitment she made every day to her students and the school community, while emulating her same passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning.
