Byrnes Freshman Academy

🍨Learning never tasted so good!🍨 Students in Mrs. Brown and Ms. Shearsmith's AVID Elective class worked on the Focused Note-Taking Process. They practiced the strategy by taking notes on How to Make an Ice Cream Sundae. Then they applied their learning by making their own sundaes! Way to put WICOR in action!

The first week of school is winding down, and here at BFA, we welcomed over 800 new Rebels from the class of 2027, to high school! Teachers and students hit the ground running and had a great first week. Students were engaging in labs in science, getting to know each other during group work, learning best practices in AVID, reading in the library, shooting hoops in the gym, and so much more! With such an exciting and full first week, we are excited to see what the rest of the school year will bring! 😁 What was your favorite part about your first week of school, let us know in the comments!

Don't forget, Yearbook Picture Days are coming up earlier than normal this year! Picture Days at BFA are listed below! Pictures not made on Picture Days are not guaranteed to be included in this year's yearbook, so plan ahead, get that outfit picked out, that smile ready, and don't miss these days! 📸

Our teachers have spent the last week preparing for our new Rebels! From cleaning and setting up classrooms, to professional development, to meeting our students Thursday night, the BFA staff is ready to welcome the Class of 2027! See you Monday!
