Dear Bernheim Community,
We are so grateful to be back in the building, kicking off semester two with enthusiasm and purpose! This week, our students have been outstanding, seamlessly settling back into the rhythm of school life and demonstrating their commitment to learning and growth. Their energy and focus set a positive tone for what promises to be a fantastic semester ahead. Here's to making the most of the opportunities and challenges that await us—let's keep the momentum going, Go Bruins!
Get Ready for Spirit Week and Our Winter Ren Rally!
BMS is buzzing with excitement as we gear up for Spirit Week, leading into our highly anticipated Winter Ren Rally on Friday! This is our time to celebrate all the hard work and achievements of the first semester. Students have been earning Gold, Silver, and Bronze cards based on their academic success and behavior during Q2:
Gold Card: All A’s and no behavior incidents
Silver Card: A’s and B’s and no behavior incidents
Bronze Card: A’s, B’s, and C’s and no behavior incidents
Students who earned a card will enjoy extra celebration time on Friday, and we’ll wrap up the day with our big ‘CATCH THE WAVE’ Winter Ren Rally! All students will join us in this end-of-day celebration, so let’s make it memorable. Don’t forget to show your spirit by wearing your favorite beach gear (within dress code, of course). Go Bruins! 🌊
