Message from Principal and Assistant Principal
February is always a busy month in schools with various holidays, activities and curriculum pieces that revolve around the calendar. One tradition that typically happens in February, but won't be until March this year is the 100th day of school. With that being said, today is our 83rd day of school and an accomplishment of note. We are almost to the midway point of school and we couldn't be more proud of our Byam community in the most challenging of years. Our families have shared so much of the teaching role this year and we are extremely appreciative. We wouldn't have come this far without you, so Thank you! Enjoy the weekend.
Best,
Jason Fredette and Betsy Dolan

Thank you!
To everyone that supported the Family Fun night by ordering dinner and/or playing Bingo, it was a successful evening, THANK YOU! We hope everyone that joined us for Bingo had a great time. We will find out soon what we raised from the Brickhouse. Your support of events like these help the BSA to provide enrichment programs to all of our grade levels at Byam.
