Jan 22- Jan 26


Dear BMS Community,

We were so glad to see your children today! Bruin Nation was GAME ON! Teachers were here and ready to get students back in the routine. Students were engaged in great learning activities and jumped right in!  6th Grade students are participating in the Courage to Care program which teaches students empathy and kindness. 7th grade students will be participating in the Leadership Conference on Monday, this is a fantastic program giving students the opportunity to learn specific leadership skills. 

Thursday the 8th grade students will visit the ROC and then BCHS on Jan 30. They will visit BCHS to discuss scheduling for next year. Permission slips went home today! (linked here) Students must have this turned in to go! Please make sure we have this by 1/23/18. On Jan 31 @ 6:00 pm there will be a parent meeting at BCHS to provide information about transitioning to high school and scheduling for 8th grade students!
