This week students have been doing a great job working in their classes. We had several students selected for the VIP Awards and were part of a wonderful ceremony this week. We are so proud of the students at BMS. They are not only smart and kind but are also hard workers and are dedicated to staying healthy.
DOES YOUR STUDENT NEED HELP?
BMS is starting ACADEMIC SUPPORT (after school ESS) this MONDAY. We will have Academic Support regularly on Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:30. Amanda Korby is coordinating the program for us this year. Please reach out to her at amanda.korby@bullitt.kyschools to request your student be signed up. We are going to support students with general help for all classes and will have a MATH Club after school as well.
Please contact us and let us know if you would like your student to be part of the Math Club. Feel free to call the school at 502-869-4000 if you have any questions regarding Academic Support in general or Math Club.
BMS HAVING A GLOBAL IMPACT
THANK YOU! YOU DID IT!
YOU DID IT! BMS students have raised $3797 for the Ugandan Water Project. We are so proud of the BMS school community! The Louisville Water Company will match our donation, which means instead of being able to support 500 families and children with clean drinking water in Uganda, we are now able to provide clean drinking water for 1000 families and children. Thank you for being the difference in the world! The Uganda Water project communities will have that water system set up by April and we will provide updates throughout the process. Thank again for your support.
We have kept the campaign open through the weekend. You can still donate.
