National School Counseling Week!
This week our School Counselors celebrated National School Counseling Week. Though they have very different tasks to accomplish each day, their most important job is working together to help all BMHS students to succeed.
At BMHS and everywhere you go, we hope you’ll spread kindness, show empathy, provide a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen.
Together, we really are better together.
Your School Counselors, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Wolf, Mrs. Hart, and Mr. Jandron.
