BMES Family Weekly Update
Week of October 10, 2022
Message from Principal Wagner
Thank you for your patience last week as our fall picture day was canceled due to our school closure. Our new picture date will be Monday, November 7.
This Wednesday, the PTA will host their monthly meeting at 6pm in the library. On Friday, the PTA will host a STEM night from 6-7pm. Please join us in the cafe for a family fun night event. All BMES families are welcome!
On Monday, October 17th from 5:30-6:30pm, the BMES staff is planning our Fall Family engagement night. Parents are welcome to drop in during that hour to see what your child has been learning thus far this school year. We hope to see you then!
Just a reminder: Wednesday, October 19th, is a student holiday so we will not have school. Our teachers will have a professional development day and students will be able to enjoy the celebration of Yorktown Day which occurred on October 19, 1781.
Also, parents, we are looking for volunteers to help us with our annual courtyard cleanup on Saturday, October 22 at 8:30am. We use our school courtyard as an outdoor classroom and need support from our active duty service members to get it pruned and ready for our students to enjoy for many months. Please bring gloves, pruning shears, chainsaws, trucks, and trailers. All families are welcome!
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Wagner
