REMINDER:
Due to ongoing illnesses affecting students and staff, school will be closed Monday, February 3rd for a 72-hour recovery period.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep everyone healthy and feeling #betterinbethany!
Parents, take a quick minute on your 3-day weekend to order/reserve your student's BMS 2025 yearbook if you haven't already! We are down to only 40 copies left for pre-order, out of 225. We are posting an updated sales list every week in the commons for your student to check, or you can confirm your order, or place a new order, at: www.yearbookordercenter.com Job #17545. The staff has been hard at work this semester and is excited to share their creation with our student body later this spring!
Congratulations to our students of the month! Hudson Wisniewski, Brooklyn Edwards, Isaac Montes, Julia Blood (and not pictured, Morgan McNutt and Ethan Smith.)
Country v. COUNTRY v. Country Club. Middle school staff (students, too) take part in the high school homecoming theme days this week.
Pom Prep Clinic is scheduled for Feb 22, for any students interested in learning what pom is all about!
We wanted to inform you of a schedule change regarding the upcoming Middle School Dance. Due to the recent school closure on Monday, February 3rd, and district-wide cleaning protocols, we have had to postpone the dance.
The new date for the Middle School Dance will be Tuesday, February 25th, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. We are aware that the Middle School Show Choir Concert is also scheduled for that same evening, but after reviewing the calendar, this is the only available date for the dance.
To accommodate both events, the Show Choir Concert has been rescheduled to 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM. We hope this allows students to attend both the concert and the dance. Thank you for your understanding and support.
BMS is offering candy grams next week (Feb 3-7) for $1 each as a SWAT Week fundraiser! Grams will be for sale before school and during recess in the commons. Thank you for your support!
