What motivated me to become a teacher? “The number one thing that motivated me to be a teacher were my teachers here at Bethany. Mrs. Bielich and Mrs. Mann were extremely important in my life growing up, as were several of the other teachers I had here at Bethany. I wanted to provide students with the same experience I had in middle school and high school, which is part of why I became a teacher.”
Say hello to Mr. Andrews!

Congratulations to both the 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams on their wins tonight over the Bridgecreek Bobcats. Despite a valiant attempt at a late-game comeback by the Bobcats, the 7th grade team managed to hang on to their early lead and win by a score of 35-43. The 8th grade game was neck and neck until the 4th quarter when the Bronchos pulled away and won 35-49. Great night of Broncho basketball!!
We are excited to see our students back tomorrow at 8am! As a reminder, students will have tomorrow and Wednesday to request a schedule change for the second semester (elective classes only.) Request forms will be available in the MS office. As some classes are already full, and therefore not all requests can be honored, students do need to continue attending their current class until they receive a new schedule from Mrs. Williford. Wednesday at 3pm is the deadline. Thank you!
The date has been set! The BMS Spring Dance will take place on Friday, March 27th. More details will be coming, but for now, mark your calendars and save the date for this fun event!
Reminder for the first day back on Tuesday .... see you then, Bronchos!
Happy holidays from all of us at BMS! We hope your break has been restful and fun. As a reminder, classes for students resume at 8am on Tuesday, Jan 6th. See you then!
