March 4-March 8 News, Updates, and Celebrations

Dear BMS Community,

What a great week for Bruin Nation.  We had two more reading celebrations! Ms. Gray and Ms. Burress 4th period classes earned Ice Cream Parties- so much fun! Reading is simply good for you, but it is fun to see kids excited about it! Keep Reading! It makes you smarter!  

We had the pleasure of visiting both Cedar Grove and Lebanon Junction Elementary Schools this week and helped get them ready to BRUIN UP! Students at both schools are excited and we are so ready to have them be a part of BRUIN NATION!  

Students in every classroom are engaged in high level thinking and learning! We are so proud of the way Bruin Nation pushes students to excel! So many great conversations and explanations by students this week.  Learning is a lifelong adventure and BMS students teach me new things every single day!  Keep Being Amazing Bruin Nation! 

BMS PTSA will be hosting the "Connected Take Charge of your Digital Life" night for parents and students.  In this age of technology it is so important that you and your student can talk about technology and the "forever factor" of the Internet.  Please join us MARCH 18 from 5:30- 7:00 pm in the Bernheim Cafe for a night of sharing in learning about the tech world!! There will be snacks, door prizes and great opportunity to learn with your kids! House Points for each student that shows up with their parent!

 

Attendance Matters: 

Attendance has been horrible as of late.  We know there has been so many germs going around we are doing everything we can to stop the spread here.  Please remind students of healthy habits, let's get them well and get them back in school. The CDC reports that the flu vaccine has been approximately 60% effective on various strains of the flu.  So please consider the benefits of a flu shot. LASTLY, please make sure your student has all vaccinations including all rounds of the HEP A (see below).      

IMMUNIZATION ROUND TWO -URGENT!!! 
There are still approximately 20 students who MUST GET the proper immunization/paperwork into school.  The deadline is Monday MARCH 4TH- please have that in to the school or unfortunately students will be excluded from school until the vaccinations are complete.
