From Mr. Arnold:
Hello, families and friends of BMS! Let me officially welcome all the kids and families of BMS back to school and wish you all a great 2025-2026 school year. Though we have been back in the building for nearly seven weeks, it feels like we are still in the very early stages of the year and still in the "get to know you" phase of our school year. I have been in all of our rooms, our halls, at lunch, and outside events. and am very excited about and for our staff and students this year.
During the 2nd week of school, we held an assembly at the stadium with the annual theme of PARTICIPATION. I am a coach, have been a teacher in both school and for youth at church, an athletic administrator, and now serve as an administrator in our 6-12 building, and one constant theme I come back to when thinking about what is good for kids is this: GET INVOLVED IN SOMETHING. Kids who are invovled in clubs, organizations, teams, music groups, etc and who are surrounded by like-minded kids and interested adults are significantly more likely to better in and outside of the school day.
If you look below in the Announcements and News of Interest section, you will see some important dates and events that are coming up soon at BMS.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me or any staff at BMS. We are happy to help in any way we can.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO EVERY DAY AND ALL YEAR TO MAKE THIS A GREAT PLACE TO TEACH FOR THE 6-8 STAFF!
