Event Description

Prior to Covid, the STEM Team at BMS hosted an annual spooky 5K around Halloween for a number of years. The idea for the race was born as a student-led project. Students work alongside their teachers in planning and hosting this event. The purpose is to promote positive community and to raise money for the STEM team at BMS. The money goes toward field trips and other endeavors to enrich our students' experience at school. In addition, STEM students learn many other valuable skills as they work on various planning aspects of the project such as fundraising, marketing/design, course planning, and race officiating. This event takes place around Halloween, so costumes are encouraged! The course also contains Halloween themed decorations. There is an additional event that takes place shortly before the 5K, called the Candy K. This fun-run event is geared toward children 10 and younger and is a 1 kilometer lap, during which participants collect candy and traverse through a decorated course.
