Students and staff at Black Mountain Primary School (BMP) started the school year with their eyes to the sky - literally! A colorful hot air balloon visited the school grounds, perfectly capturing the BMP theme of Onward and Upward.
Children gathered with wide eyes and big smiles as the giant balloon inflated before them. Many had never seen one up close, and the excitement soared through the crowd as the basket lifted gently off the ground. Teachers and staff used the moment to remind students that, just like the balloon, their learning and goals can soar higher each day.
“This is such a special way to begin the year,” one teacher shared. “It’s a reminder to dream big and keep rising.”
For students, it was a memory they won’t forget - a bright, floating symbol of all the adventures and accomplishments waiting ahead this school year at BMP.
