Briarcliff Middle School Teacher Wins Prestigious Award

Briarcliff Middle School students have historically done exceptionally well on the American Mathematics Competition 8 (AMC 8) math test. But did you ever think about the teacher who encouraged them along the way?

The Edyth May Sliffe Award is given each year to several dozen outstanding high school and middle school teachers for their dedication to motivating and inspiring students in mathematics. This year, one of those teachers is BMS Teaching Assistant Svetlana Ryzhik, who is the school’s Math Club advisor.

Seventh Graders “Drive” in the Classroom

Did you know that swivel chairs can also be used as “cars”?

In Briana Kenny’s class they are.

Briarcliff Middle School seventh graders recently “drove” on their swivel chairs in an activity called “Drive In,” in English Language Arts class with Ms. Kenny.

Sixth Graders Participate in Part Two of Community Day

This week marks the halfway point of the school year and at Briarcliff Middle School, this is a reason to celebrate.

Half of a school year is no small feat for the sixth graders, who have been adjusting well to the new school. At the start of the year, the sixth-grade team of teachers set four goals for their students: persistence, teamwork, active listening and positivity. The second Community Day provided students with a valuable opportunity to explore and strengthen these goals. Through various activities, students were able to actively engage and reflect on the concepts.
