Happy #FlashbackFriday! 📸✨
Last Friday, Mt. Washington Middle School was buzzing with energy as our MWMS Generals showed off their hard work, creativity, and business savvy at our Entrepreneurship Showcase & Competition! 💡👏
It was a fast-paced and exciting event, and our students were thrilled to see so many community members turn out to offer their time, support, and valuable feedback.
Beyond the excitement of competition day, this program has created powerful real-world learning moments in the classroom. Teacher Courtney Lurie shared how incredible it has been to watch these 7th and 8th graders grow over the past two years. Concepts like revenue, debt, and budgeting—which can often feel abstract in a traditional lesson plan—really clicked once students applied them to projects they genuinely cared about. Giving our Generals choice and voice in their learning allowed them to tackle complex academic concepts and truly thrive as young entrepreneurs!
A huge shoutout and thank you to the leadership team who made this hands-on learning experience possible: Dr. Barger for bringing this impactful program to BCPS, Mr. Ridley for trusting Ms. Lurie to lead the charge, and Mrs. McDaniel for providing guidance on engaging students at a high academic level while encouraging student agency.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support our MWMS students! 🌟

Brittany Clarkson and Victoria Christensen teach students who are blind or visually impaired in BCPS, and both came to this work through family: one through her daughter, the other through her little brother.
On this episode of Beyond the Bell, they talk about the tools that make a difference, from a refreshing Braille display to a simple black mat on a desk for students with cerebral visual impairment. They also share what they want every BCPS family to know: Our students are smart, funny, and friendly, and a visual impairment is only one part of who they are.
Their hope is that accessibility and inclusion are never an afterthought in our schools.
