Bowdish Rocket Report
January 26, 2024
Principal's Corner
Bowdish Families,
Thanks for another great week at BMS! As we near the end of 2nd quarter and our 1st semester, please take a moment (if you haven’t already) to review your student’s grades/class progress in PowerSchool. Our quarter ends on February 2, 2024; if your student has missing assignments, this is a good time for them to get those completed. If you have concerns with any assignments/grades, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teachers so we can best support you and your student.
Have a great weekend!

Fill the Truck
The BMS Rocket “Fill the Truck” canned food drive is coming! Beginning next week, we will be collecting cans in support of the Spokane Valley Food Bank and other food provider outreach programs. We will have a competition between classes at each grade level. Beginning Monday please bring your canned food items to school. The goal for each grade level is to collect enough food to force an office staff member out of their offices!!!!
6th Grade – Ms. Simmons
7th Grade – Mr. Roal
8th Grade – Mr. Helgeson (he says that the 8th grade will barely collect enough food to force a book off of a shelf let alone him out of his office) – let’s get him 8th graders!!!
Teddy Bears
We will be selling 14 inch Teddy Bears to students starting today and going through February 7th!!! These are pre-order only. 5 inch Teddy Bears will be sold beginning next Friday. If you would like to purchase the large Teddy Bear for someone special, or even for yourself, go to “on-line payments” and you will see an option to purchase the Teddy Bear. This is an ASB fundraising activity, so please support your school!!!
