Wish Lists: From the Education Foundation of BMMS...The Teacher Wish List Fundraiser - a great way to directly support your student’s teachers - is back! Our Education Foundation has organized a website listing the wish lists of our teachers. Go to the Wish List Site beginning Sunday, October 17th at 5pm to see your student’s teachers’ wish lists
Your donation goes directly to those BMMS teachers to fund the items they need most. I also have a Principal’s Wish List that I created to fund the items that BMMS needs most to help our school run smoothly. Don’t see your teacher listed? They may not know what they need - yet! In that case, you can also donate to the Teacher Grants fund, and the Foundation will grant teachers’ needs throughout the 2021-2022 school year.
The Wish List Site will run from Sunday, October 17th through Sunday, October 31st. We thank you in advance for supporting our teachers and our students. Thank you for your support.
This Week’s Positive Message: Mr. Corso shares a Cherokee story of two wolves in this BMTV video shown to students on Thursday to illustrate the importance of kindness, one of our school's core values. https://youtu.be/gdu0gDfq0QA
Thank you to all those that supported our school’s Book Fair! We appreciate your support and partnership,
