9/18-9/22

 Dear BMS Nation,

We have had a great week here in Bruin Nation.  We are "Dressin Sharp" on Mondays and the students and staff alike are looking outstanding.  Students are working very hard in all of their classes and students and staff alike are becoming experts in the field of technology.  I am very proud of all of our members of Bruin Nation. 

Please encourage your student to live by the Bruin Way.  We discuss this every morning after the pledge. We ask students to Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work ethic. 

We are starting HOUSE COMPETITIONS  between the grade levels. The House that wins (grade level) will have a House Bruin Bash for just their grade. They can earn the House Bruin Bash by earning points based on categories all linked to the Bruin Way. Ask your students about it. 



Reminders:
--Please ask students to make sure their chromebooks are charged and at school every day.
--Students must be IN THEIR CLASSROOM by 8:00 am every morning or they are considered Tardy to school- Tardy to School is an attendance event. 
--PLEASE JOIN THE PTSA, THEY HAD A GREAT MEETING ON FRIDAY BUT NEED MORE SUPPORT AND MORE HELP.   Students were given membership forms on Friday, it is $5 to join. PLEASE CONTACT DAWN LAMBRIGHT @ dawngaffn@yahoo.com FOR MORE INFORMATION.
