Our talented Quest students from all the elementary schools and both middle schools showcased the incredible projects they've been working on throughout the year. From the robotics team giving driving lessons in preparation for the world competition at the end of April, to underwater robotics, LEGO STEAM, community projects, Macey Day balloon creations, chess tournments, fingerprint exploration, and steps to publishing - the creativity and hard work on display were truly inspiring! We were thrilled to have our Gifted Advocacy Board Members, principals, central office staff, parents, and community members join us to celebrate our students' achievements. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Your support makes a difference! 💙✨

Last week, we had an incredible Fifth Grade Elective Preview Night at Bayou View Middle School, and what a fantastic evening it was!
We were so excited to welcome our fifth-grade students who are zoned to attend BVMS next year, along with their families, to explore all the amazing opportunities waiting for them. The energy in the building was contagious as prospective students met our teachers and began imagining themselves as middle schoolers.
Families learned about the incredible elective programs that make BVMS such a special place to grow and discover new passions. From band and strings to art, dance, and choir… from robotics and Spanish to Quest and physical education… there truly is something for everyone. Our students will have so many opportunities to explore their interests, uncover new talents, and build confidence in and out of the classroom.
We cannot wait to welcome this amazing group of future Vikings to BVMS next year. The future is bright, and it starts here!

Celebrating the power of partnership! We were honored to recognize a Parent of the Year from each school in the Gulfport School District for their outstanding support, involvement, and commitment to our students and school communities. Thank you for being an essential part of our GSD family! 💙
