❗B-UMS Fall Sports Flex Practice Update❗ Some dates and times are to be determined. Updates and changes will be posted to the B-UMS Facebook Page.


Four B-UMS students, Nick Perrine, Harper Currence, Alexis Huffman, and Ava Trent had the privilege of spending a weekend singing with over 200 other middle school students from all over the state during the WV ACDA Jr High Honor Choir. These students were selected through an audition process, and then committed their time to multiple after-school rehearsals to prepare new and complex music for this event. During the honor choir, the students were under the direction of Vincent Oakes, a conductor and clinician who has directed choirs all over the world. The students consistently showed their dedication and great musical skills throughout the rehearsals and gave an excellent performance at the end of the weekend. We are all so proud of these young musicians!


Join us as we celebrate our 8th graders and their accomplishments!

We had a fun time while her and the producers were at B-UMS, including a pep talk Weijia gave the students and staff over the school intercom. CBS is working on a special story about Weijia look for the interview on May 30th on the CBS morning show!
