Eighth grade boys from Barbara Bush Middle School attended the 10th annual African-American Academic Bowl on Jan. 26. The event’s purpose is to promote academic achievement among African American males. By utilizing teamwork, peer mentoring, accountability, and learning through academic competitive measures, the event seeks to inspire young men to impact time learning outside of school. The event was covered by NBC Channel 5, and some of the BBMS Broncos can be seen in their coverage.
