BWMS Family Update
9/30/2022
Homecoming!
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 and especially at our Homecoming Pep Rally. Special Thanks to Mrs. Briant, Student Council and the Float Committee for the construction of our BWMS Homecoming Float. It is great to be a Big Walnut Golden Eagle!
Have a great weekend and Go Eagles!
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame
