Homecoming!
Parents,
Special Thanks to Mrs. Crawford, Student Council and the Float Committee for the construction of our BWMS Homecoming Float. It is great to see our kids show such excitement and enthusiasm for the greater Big Walnut Community and take ownership of our School during Spirit Week. So many smiles and Eagle Pride this week. It is great to be a Big Walnut Golden Eagle!
Have a great weekend and Go Eagles!
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame

BWMS - Letter of Encouragement
At conferences, we have been asking Parents to write their student a Letter of Encouragement for BWMS to give to a student on a tough day. We got the idea from a community supporter of our schools who shared this Article and Video. If you are not attending conferences, we would still love for you to submit a Letter of Encouragement to your student by dropping it off in the middle school office or mailing it to the attention of Kelly Mazzi.
