Dear Bernheim Community,
At BMS, we believe in celebrating the incredible achievements of our students, and our recent Catch the Wave Winter Renaissance Rally was a shining example of that commitment. During the rally, we honored student success across a variety of accomplishments. This winter, 76 students earned Bronze Cards, 130 earned Silver Cards, and 79 achieved the prestigious Gold Card status. Additionally, each staffulty member selected two students as Be Bold Pin winners, recognizing a total of 61 students for demonstrating the Bruin Way in their classes. The rally concluded with the presentation of our highest honor, the Bruin Excellence Award, to six outstanding students: Mason O., Ava H., Dominic W., Gracie Wilson, Brinleigh Gary, and Tristan I. We are so proud of these students and of all our Bruins for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence!
