Principal's Message
Happy Friday!
What a full week here at BMS! Our instructional leadership team (teachers and school administrators) conducted classroom visits to observe effective instructional strategies It was insightful to see amazing teaching and learning in action.
This week, we celebrate our 7th graders trip to the Georgia Aquarium. This trip allowed our students to make real-world connections to the life science curriculum.
We also celebrate our amazing art students whose work is on display at the Capitol and the ISC. They are incredibly talented, and we are proud.
On Thursday, we welcomed our rising 6th grade families to BMS. We are excited to be the next stop on their journey to Finish as a Patriot.
Last but not least, today, we celebrated our students who receive Positive Behavior Referrals and who demonstrated growth on the GCPS GMAS benchmark assessment. Both celebrations were a great way to celebrate achievement and promote future success.
I hope to see everyone at this evening's soccer games. Let's cheer our students on to success.
It continues to take a TEAM! Thanks for all you do and for being ALL IN!
Your Proud Principal,
Dr. Kaneshia Dorsan
