Dear Bernheim Community,
What a week!! The BMS CEO Student leadership group organized a community service project that included all of Bruin Nation. Proceeds were donated to the Turnaround Center in Lebanon Junction, KY. Cubs gathered Wrapping Paper, tissue and tape, Bears brought in non-perishables, and Grizzlies gathered stocking stuffers! Students did such a wonderful job taking care of their community! We couldn’t be more proud of students and staffulty right here in Bruin Nation! They packed the van full of Holiday items needed for families in our community!

Which House is Winning This week? BMS has a house system that is based on students' year of graduation. Each house can earn points based on areas that are linked to the Bruin Way. Points are earned by the percentage of the house on the honor roll, free from referrals, attendance, school spirit, showing responsibility for yourself and others, participation in community service, random acts of kindness, and more!

LEADERS OF THE MONTH!
We do our best to keep you informed! BMS News Bytes is our weekly newsletter, favorite this blog and the school website. BMS Class Highlights includes each teacher's snapshot about what's going on in class. The school website has all forms, information, calendar updates and district information you might need. Individual teacher websites are extremely useful to both students and parents. It is important that you log into Parent Portal and choose the option to receive email and texts from the school. Not only can you view your students grades, attendance and other information it is also a great communication tool to keep you connected. Lastly, please follow us on social media including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also have @hentryclaytime on Instagram to keep up with the antics of our school therapy dog.
