 Dear Bernheim Community,

It was a great four day week with all the in person students! So
 many things to celebrate! Tacky Tourist Day was so much fun! Ms. Gray's Advisory won a Reading Popcorn Party! We hope to make more popcorn soon! The Grizzlies House celebrated their 2nd nine weeks House Bash.  The Cubs House Won for the 3rd nine weeks.  We have given away many gift cards and spirit wear items to students who have earned a Be Bold Card and had their names drawn at Lunch.  On top of all of that we also gave away our Renaissance
 Card student Drawings as well! That is a bunch of celebrating! It is so wonderful to encourage students to keep following our the Bruin Way! Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Be Here and Be Bold in Kindness, Courage and Excellent Work Ethic! #Go Bruins!

Supporting Students
BMS has multiple paths to helping students be successful both in the classroom and outside the classroom.  Academic Success (ESS) Recovery Opportunities, Title 1 Resource teachers in Math and Reading, not to mention each and every teacher providing opportunity to be successful and show mastery of standards.  If your student is struggling academically please contact their teacher for assistance in developing an intervention plan or adjusting one that is currently in place.
