This week is National Drug Abuse Prevention Week and the Uplift Team is kicking things off with 💚 Lucky Locker Week! 💚 Each day, random lockers will be selected to receive an uplifting note and a small gift from the Uplift Team. Our team of 8th grade leaders is working to promote healthy choices, positive connections, and Support Over Substances!
❤️ Wednesday is also ROCK THE RED DAY! ❤️ Wear red to show your support for drug use prevention and healthy, substance-free choices! Stop by our table at lunch to be entered into our drawing IF YOU ARE WEARING RED!
The Uplift Project is a student-led substance use prevention initiative that started last year at BMS. A new team of 7th grade students will be selected soon!
ALL 6th, 7th, & 8th graders: another exciting season of show choir is starting November 10th! Register ASAP on the BMS activities page. Show choir is an activity that welcomes all students regardless of your experience in music. Come for the fun and friends, stay for the memories that will last a lifetime. See Mrs. Binstock in the choir room for more info.
SRP Safety Minute:
For the next few weeks we will be emphasizing each of the 5 different areas of our Standard Response Protocols (SRP) Emergency Plan that we use at BMS. This week we will highlight what the HOLD call means:
HOLD is used when the hallways should be kept clear and students need to stay in place, but the situation does not warrant a lockdown (medical emergency, incident in the hallway, etc.). During a HOLD scenario, teachers will:
Close and lock the classroom door, if applicable.
Staff may open doors to let students in from the hallway during a HOLD
Take attendance
Continue with class as normal except: No class changes or dismissals will take place during a Hold even if the bell rings. Hallways need to remain clear.
Remain in the classroom until “The Hold is released! All Clear” is given then move on to your next class.
Please stop by the Indian Education office Mondays - Thursdays to answer the Question of the Week! A new question will be posted every week and students will receive a Jolly Rancher for a correct answer and their names will be entered into a drawing for a candy bar on Friday! Question of the Week is open to all students.
Week 7: Oct 26-30
Traditionally, canoes were made from the bark of what tree?
PPR Question of the week: This week our question is: “What does it look like when a student is respectful at BMS?” If you give your written response to your PPR teacher or put it in the PPR box in the media center, you become eligible for prizes next week!
Student Council: We will be meeting at the start of 5th hour on Monday. Please check in with your teacher and then meet us upstairs.
