Moments from April
BEMS Scavenger Hunt
It was a day of clues, teamwork, and high-energy exploration as students from Kindergarten through 8th grade recently participated in a school-wide scavenger hunt that took over the Beatty Elementary and Middle School (BEMS) campus. The event, designed to build school spirit and foster cross-grade collaboration, saw our youngest Hornets working alongside middle schoolers to solve puzzles and track down hidden treasures.
From searching for specific school landmarks to solving riddles about Hornet history, the campus was buzzing with activity. Teachers noted that the scavenger hunt was more than just a game; it was a chance for students to practice critical thinking and problem-solving in a fun, hands-on environment.
