Dear Bernheim Community,
We are so proud of all students at BMS, however an extra shout out goes to the BMS CEO's. These students have worked with their peers all year long on social emotional growth through a program called second step. They have met once a week during their lunch time and are dedicated and committed to encouraging others in a positive way through empathy and compassion. They have created a Kindness Campaign and are continuing to work on improving not only the school community but the community at large. These students are going to change the world and we can't wait to see the great things they do! 
SBDM AND PTSA NEWS
BMS SBDM Parent member Brance Gould is going off of SBDM because his son is moving on up to High School We are grateful to Mr. Gould for three years of dedication to BMS through SBDM. He has been an advocate on the behalf of BMS and has been a active community supporter for our school. Thank you Mr. Gould.
ELECTION TIME IS HERE: PTSA Officer ballots and SBDM Parent representative ballots will be will be in the front office. Ms. Veatch has the ballots and will be taking care of the voting for us. Even though in both cases there are the exact number of people running as are required the election is a requirement and is an indicator of the strength of BMS parent involvement. We have great parent involvement so please let's make sure that is known by our number of parent votes in both elections. BMS has a goal this year of having at least 50 parents vote in both elections. Please click here for more information for Parent SBDM Candidates and voting details.
