RIVER RAIDER

Dear BRMS Families,

This morning I was able to join Ms. Willard’s 8th grade art students on a field trip to Shelburne Farms as they worked on developing their photography skills. It was an amazing experience to spend a little more time with some of our departing 8th grade students. We had a wonderful morning photographing some of the many interesting sights at this historic property. Many of the photographs taken this morning will be displayed at our 3rd Annual BRMS Fine Arts Night on May 28th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. There will be many other types of artwork from our students that will be filling our hallways in addition to the photography displays. Please be sure to mark your calendars for this inspiring event!

Last night our gym was packed with several hundred people as we celebrated the talent of our 5th and 6th grade musicians. The gymnasium was filled with some amazing music for close to two hours. We also had the opportunity to say thank you to Berta Frank for 13 years of teaching music at BRMS as she heads off to retirement and world travel at the end of the school year. Our final musical event of the school year will be our Jazz Band performing June 4th at 1:40 p.m. on Church Street. We are excited to bring our musical talents to the community of Burlington!

Please be sure to check out the list below of end of the year events. Our 8th Grade Recognition Night will be at 6:30 on June 17th. The last day of school is June 18th. 8th grade students are not expected to attend school on June 18th.

Have a great weekend!

Kevin
