BMS News Bytes 1/27

Dear BMS Community,

We have had a great week at BMS.  Students are working very hard and engaged in great learning activities.  We love it when we hear our students engaged in the high levels of conversation on topics such as our U.S. Constitution, clean water for third world countries, and the processes behind creating scaled drawings in math and art class!  

We are almost through with winter MAP testing and it looks like many students are progressing very well! 

Though it has been a good week, there has been a great many absences and students are getting sick left and right.  Please remind students to wash their hands, cover their mouths and noses if they cough or sneeze.  We want to keep our Bruins well! 

Congratulations to the following who are the latest STUDENTS OF THE MONTH!  We are so proud of our students they continually demonstrate the Bruin Way and seek to be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Work Ethic on a daily basis!  Keep up the Great Work!!
