  • Thursday Mr. Carnes will host a 3 on 3 basketball tournament with a team entry fee of $5.  It will be after school until 4:30.  Students are welcome to bring money for the volleyball game and stay after to support the ladies and celebrate 8th grade night. 

  • Friday will be our annual UK/UL student/faculty basketball game. Top money raisers have the opportunity to play on their favorite team along with their teachers in a friendly basketball competition.  The whole student body will have the opportunity to watch the game at the end of the day.  Wear your UK or UofL gear or blue and red to support your team. 

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!
