BWMS Family Update
9/23/2022
Grade Update Day
BWMS Families,
Can you believe that the first day of Fall was this week? This is one of my favorite times of year: fall colors, beautiful leaves, Football Friday Night, campfires, pumpkin flavored goodness and such.
Speaking of fall, did you know that this is also the time of our first conferences on Tuesday Sept 27 and Thursday Oct 6th? We invite all parents to come meet with our teachers during this time and check in on the growth and development during the 2022-23 school year. Our 2nd night of conference sign ups will be posted on Monday.
Have a great weekend and Go Eagles!
~Mr. Josh Frame
