Dear Bernheim Community,
The second full week of school has been fantastic! Congratulations to the 19-20 Girls Basketball team and 19-20 BMS Cheerleaders! It is going to be a great season!
BMS House Competition is on! Students have been working hard every day and we are excited to see how much they will grow this year! Everything students do counts in one way or another, from earning Proficient/Distinguished on KPREP to cleaning up after themselves in the Cafe, or simply being kind.
Everything we do matters in one way or another! We truly believe in our mission of Every Student, Every Day and the vision, Creating a Legacy of Excellence. Students live by the motto, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic.
Reminders:
READING competition has BEGUN! Each 4th period class has begun Drop Everything and Read time! Please do check in with your student and see that they have a book and are reading! We look forward to celebrating with them!
BRUIN BASH This Friday! Aug 30 -- What is Bruin Bash? Students have a period at the end of they day to participate in fun hands on activities with friends. There is usually Kona Ice, sometimes popcorn and is generally time to be a kid. Students must be PASSING all classes, Must have been following the Bruin Way (free of behavior events) and have all notes turned in for absences.
If they are not at school on a Bruin Bash day and they are also ineligible to participate for Bruin Bash, unfortunately they are precluded from the next Bruin Bash as well. So please do make sure your student is at school even in the event they don't get to participate. If they don't get to participate they will be working with a teacher to get caught up or working on school work to gain mastery of content in one way or another. We hope to have all students participate, 100% participation is the goal!
