Dear Bernheim Community,
Bernheim Middle School has had a busy week for sure! Students have been working hard in all classes. Math students are learning math in new ways focusing on real world connections. Science students are working through several hands on and minds on activities. We continue to celebrate students every day, this Friday students had their Palentines dance and had a great time!
Next Thursday 2/16 will be the Second School Wide Bruin Bash for the year. Students must be free of any referrals since Feb 9 and MUST have C’s or above. D’s and F’s will render your student ineligible for this Bruin Bash. We have been telling students for a couple of weeks we are upping the expectations. We continue to promote an atmosphere where students Work Hard & Be Kind. If your student will be attending Bruin Bash, Kona Ice should be available. If they are ineligible they will be in a study hall working on classwork so their grades can improve. The goal of course is that 100% of Bruins will be eligible for the Bash.
DOES YOUR STUDENT NEED HELP?

WORLD KINDNESS WEEK
Next week is World Kindness Week. Students are being challenged to do acts of kindness every day. We have 433 students enrolled at BMS, the challenge is to complete 433 acts of kindness next week. We met with Student leaders and they are going to encourage and explain the project in their advisory classes on Monday. There will be a form linked in each house grade level google classroom for students to enter pictures, descriptions, of themself or other Bruins showing random acts of kindness. Pictures of students doing random acts of kindness in our community will be shared. Students should only take pictures with permission of those in the photo.
We know our Bruins are good humans and we want to encourage them to look for the good in the world!

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!
