May 21- May 25


Dear BMS Community,


It has been a ridiculously busy week here at BMS. We had a wonderful band and choir concert Monday evening. We have had our baseball team playing in the championship tournament, we had our first ever STEAM night, 5th grade band rental night, and today we finished the week with our KPREP Pep Rally.   The 8th Grade Grizzlies are in the lead for the House competition and they finally won the spirit competition today at the KPREP pep rally.  They are pumped for success.  We want all of our students to be pumped for success.  With the spirit competition being so close today and I must say it seems as though all of the kids here in South Bullitt County are ready to be GAME ON! Thank you to everyone, parents, students and staff alike for a fantastic week.

CHROMEBOOKs 

We collected Chromebooks this week and want to thank our PTSA members and Jr Member for helping.  There were 440 laptops to be collected, assessed for damage, cleaned and catalogued.   Thank you to our parents who helped with this process. We learned a great deal regarding logistics this year so we know next year will be a great deal easier.   One issue is there were several that were damaged as we collected them.  Ms. Ojala will send home notices to parents of students whose device has been damaged.  Please email her with any questions. toni.ojala@bullitt.kyschools.us
