The BMS+ Cooking Club is a big hit this fall.

Students have been learning about holiday recipes, cooking terms, and how to measure ingredients.

Bellefontaine Middle School was awarded grant money from the Ohio Department of Education to fund BMS+.

The free program offers before and after school programming that focuses on enrichment in math, reading, youth development, and family engagement.

Here are some benefits of BMS+:

- Increase reading and math achievement

- Promote positive youth development in alignment with the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) standards

- Encourage parents, family, and community involvement

- Provide a safe and structured before and after school program

- Offer academic enrichment and tutoring by trained teachers and staff

Students can earn incentives for attendance and transportation is provided.
