Students this week had a great time celebrating the House Competition. The Grizzlies won the House competition last nine weeks and there is one more House Bash up for grabs! Right now the competition is stiff between the Cubs and the Bears! It's anybody's game! The Bears won the house competition Minute to Win It games this morning, and showed a great deal of House Spirit and School Spirit!
Keep living the Bruin Way Bruin Nation!! We can't wait to see who the 4th nine weeks House Winner will be!
Attendance Matters:
Attendance Matters:
Be Here! Show Up! It matters! Here in Bruin Nation we are instilling in students the importance of having excellent work ethic. Research evidence states that students who are chronically absent fall several grade levels behind causing them to play "catch up" for years. BMS believes each student can be successful, we strive daily to support each student. Each day missed is a day a student falls behind. On top of academic success we have fun incentives for attendance; Game Day, Walkabouts , Sit Anywhere Days and more. Attendance is part of the Work Ethic Certification program and is something the R.O.C. and BAMS program look at to determine admission so, show up, be here, it matters.
