Enrichments and Activities

FCA

The FCA meets every other Tuesday morning at 7:45 for worship and a speaker. It is open to everyone who would like to attend, not just athletes. It will start on Tuesday, August 30. Please see Mr. Snipes for more information. 

Yearbook

The annual yearbook at Blue Ridge Middle School is entirely student-produced. Students who enroll and participate in our Yearbook Enrichment take photos, edit pictures, design and modify page layout, and submit the copy-ready file for the yearbook. Eighth-grade students, under the direction of Ms. Randall, produce a high-quality, low-cost yearbook for students and staff. The best pricing for the yearbook comes at the beginning of each year. The longer the delay in ordering a yearbook, the more expensive the book becomes. 

Science 

Students explore different scientific fields, concepts, ideas, theories, scientists, questions, and answers based on student interest. In the past, students have decided on projects based in engineering, computer programming, entomology, automation, and marine biology. The only limits are student interest and imagination. Science club is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders and meets on Mondays after school 3:30-4:45.

Robotics Teams

Our Robotics teams are a co-curricular activity that occurs during and after school hours. Students design, build, and test robots to compete against other schools in the state. Teams are required to maintain an engineering notebook and document all ideas and iterations. In the 2018-2019 school year, BRMS hosted three competition teams for their first season. The teams brought home four trophies and all received an invitation to the state competition. To obtain a position on a robotics team, students must fill out an application and complete a rubric. Applications are due in March for the following year.
