Dear BMS Community,
For a short week students have certainly been busy learning. Students have created models of molecules, engaged in the design process and created beautiful art projects! Students are learning to collaborate, work together and communicate effectively! 
We have given away several Bruin Nation t-shirts to Be Bold Card recipients as well as a few gift cards. Ask your student if they have earned a Be Bold Card yet! We hope to see more students going over and above as they live the Bruin Way every day! Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic! 
Next week we have MAP testing on Tuesday and Thursday. It is crucial that students try their very best on this assessment. This is a formative assessment that will help inform teachers as they design the best learning opportunity for your student. Thank you for arranging any doctor appointments around Tuesday and Thursday to help us make sure students have the best chance at success.
