Field trip LIGO

6th, 7th, and 8th Graders Visit LIGO Facility for an Educational Field Trip

On a recent field trip, our 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students had the exciting opportunity to visit the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) facility in Livingston, Louisiana. The trip was an amazing learning experience that allowed students to explore cutting-edge scientific research and gain a deeper understanding of the universe.

At LIGO, students were introduced to the groundbreaking work done at the facility, which is dedicated to detecting gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by massive cosmic events like colliding black holes. Students had the chance to see the complex technology and equipment that make this research possible, including the enormous laser interferometers used to detect these faint signals from across the universe.

During the visit, students participated in interactive exhibits and discussions led by LIGO scientists and engineers. They learned about the history of LIGO, the science of gravitational waves, and how this research helps us understand more about the cosmos. Students were also able to ask questions and get a glimpse of the future of astrophysics and the ongoing discoveries being made in this field.

The trip not only sparked curiosity but also encouraged students to think critically about science, technology, and the many ways we continue to explore the universe. The experience at LIGO was a memorable part of our students’ education, inspiring many to pursue further studies in science and technology.

We are grateful to LIGO for hosting us and providing such an educational and exciting opportunity for our students!

Beta Induction

B. Edward Middle School Beta Club Welcomes New Inductees

On November 14, 2024, our school proudly celebrated the induction of new members into the Be. Edward Boudreaux's Middle School Beta Club, a prestigious organization that recognizes academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to service. The ceremony was held in the school auditorium, where students, teachers, and families gathered to honor the achievements of these outstanding individuals.

The Beta Club is dedicated to fostering academic growth and personal development, and the induction ceremony highlighted the hard work and determination of each new member. To be inducted, students must maintain a high GPA, demonstrate exemplary behavior, and show a dedication to helping others through community service projects.\

The ceremony included speeches from the principal, teachers, and current Beta Club members, all emphasizing the importance of leadership, integrity, and responsibility. The new inductees proudly took the Beta Club oath, pledging to uphold the values of the organization and continue making positive contributions to their school and community.

Parents and families were in attendance to celebrate their students' hard work and accomplishments, making the ceremony even more special. The induction of these new members marks the beginning of a new chapter in their academic and personal journeys, and the school is excited to see them grow as leaders both in and out of the classroom.
