BWMS Parent Update
10/17/19
WIN Day
Parents,
Today was the first BWMS WIN Day of the school year. These are called "What I Need" Days because students select from over 30 different activities and get to interact with BWMS peers and adults during the last 60 minutes of school. The purpose of WIN Days is to build and maintain a positive climate and supportive relationships at BWMS. Check out a few pictures below and ask your student how things went today.
Have a great extended weekend and Go Eagles!
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame

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.
