BWMS Family Update

First MS Dance on Friday
The Back to School Dance at BWMS is Friday 10/7/22 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM in the cafeteria. DJ Matt Ryan will play some good tunes and the kids will have a great time eating snacks from the concession stand. School Dances at BWMS are limited to our students and chaperoned by school staff. The cost is $5.00 at the door. Entrance will occur from the Bus/Athletic Entrance at the side of the building and student pick up will be from the same location. We will encourage student pick up to enter from S Old 3C and exit on Letts Ave or for parents to park in the parking lot next to the football/soccer field and exit using S Old 3C. Please note that this event is for BWMS Students Only and casual dress is encouraged. In addition, all school rules continue to apply at the dance. We look forward to our students enjoying this event on Friday.
Have a great day and Go Eagles!
Sincerely,
Mr. Josh Frame
