We hope our students, staff, and families enjoy a safe and relaxing break! We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday, March 23.
We are so excited and would like you to know that our very own 10th Grade Scholar-Artist, Carson French, received Honorable Mention in the C-SPAN StudentCam Documentary contest, and will be receiving a $250 cash prize. His documentary, When Equality Ends at the Prison Gates, focused on the inequalities prisoners face in the Alabama prison system, and it will be featured on C-SPAN's website. Over 1000 students competed, and he was chosen as one of 150 winners.

Tomorrow is a very important day for us at BTW, as we look forward to supporting our Juniors as they take on the ACT! We are hopeful that all are preparing to get a good night's rest. We hope those Chromebooks are on being charged and that your scholar is relaxed and ready for the BIG test! We need to see all 155 amazing 11th graders at 7:15 A.M. Remember, uniforms, Yondrs (with phone powered off), no backpacks or bags. Scholars must bring their Chromebook and charger. By the way, we have purchased snacks for all of our scholars. Please do not bring any foods for snack break. We are on a tight schedule tomorrow.
Parents, we sincerely need your encouragement. Remind your scholar how much the BTW Community is depending on him/her to knock this test out of the ballpark!
ACT...here we come!
Good night, everyone, and I look forward to seeing the Juniors of BTW (all 155) at 7:15 in the A.M.

The night before a test...

- Perform a light, focused review of the materials to maximize memory retention
-Eat a balanced, familiar meal to avoid discomfort
-Hydrate well
-Organize necessary materials (fully charged Chromebook) to reduce morning stress
-Relax with low-impact activities like light walking or listening to music to keep your mind calm
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! NOW LET'S ROCK THIS TEST!!!
