Principal’s Journal

Wow!  It is hard to believe this will be the last Week at a Glance for this school year.  We are wrapping up another exciting and tremendous year at BMS.  This time of year is very exciting and sad.  We are all, students, teachers and staff, excited about the summer break.  However, we have really grown close to our students this year as we have developed some lasting and binding relationships.  We have watched our students grow (physically, emotionally and socially) throughout the year.  We have pushed them and challenged them to learn and we have watched them develop new friendships.  We have listened to their frustrations and their concerns and we have watched them swell with pride as they become young adults. 

 Now, we look forward to seeing our current 8^th graders continue to grow and develop as high school students at Apollo High School.  We look forward to seeing how much our current 6^th & 7^th graders have grown and matured after a summer of fun in the sun.  Plus, we are looking forward to getting to know a whole new group of students who will be coming to us for the first time as sixth graders.  Our first day with them will be on August 1^st as we kick-off the beginning of another year with our annual Jump-Start program! 

HAVE A FUN, RELAXING AND EXCITING SUMMER!!!!
