Happy Thanksgiving

Dear BMS Community, 

We are grateful for all students, parents and staff in the BMS Community.  We hope that each of you enjoy your Thanksgiving break and are able to enjoy some much needed family time. Tomorrow we have both a boys 6th grade game and Girls basketball 8th grade night.  We are asking all students to wear their Bruin Spirit wear tomorrow.  Remember come on out and support Bruin Nation tomorrow evening. 

Congratulations to BCPS BMS Honor Band Students Brennan, Leah and Katlyn all represented BMS beautifully.

Attendance Matters: 
Congratulations to the 74 students at BMS who STILL have perfect attendance for this year.  We drew two names from the 74 perfect attendance students and Lauren Graves and Isabella Spear both won a BMS Be the Good T-Shirt AND a gift card.  Be Here in Bruin Nation! 

Be Here! Show Up! It matters! Here in Bruin Nation we are instilling in students the importance of having excellent work ethic.  Part of having excellent work ethic is showing up to "work".   Attendance has been hit and miss in Bruin Nation lately.  We know there has been a bug going around so with that, please remind students to wash hands, cough into their sleeve, never eat or drink after one another and get a good night's rest.  

Remind students attendance impacts school rewards such as Bruin Bash, Renaissance Rallies, Game Day and end of the year Awards.  The biggest reward is their link to their own success.  Students who aren't at school fall behind and spend days catching up.  Help us, help them by making sure they are here! Thank you for all you do for BMS and your student!
