In this year’s Science Olympiad, BMS came in second in the state competition held in Farmington, Conn. Twenty-three BMS students from all three grades attended, with the help of five ninth graders.

“I am really proud of all the members who helped us do as well as we did. The contest really tested the ability of the students,” said club adviser and BMS STEM teacher Mrs. Kathryn Nicolas.
This competition tested these students’ abilities in designing and building a working machine. They could also do events that involved fossils, wind power, and other aspects of construction.
“I do the Science Olympiad because it is very fun and I’m able to build really cool things like a ping-pong ball machine,” said John O’Brien, an 8th grader.
