Dear BRMS Families:
This morning we sent our 8th grade students off to MMU for their 9th grade move up day while at the same time we welcomed our incoming class of 5th grade students from JES and UCS. It is always amazing to see the changes and growth that happens to our students over the 4 years that they spend in our building. The difference is clearly evident as our 8th grade students exit one door and our new students enter another door. We had a great day with our new students and we can’t wait to hear about the adventures our 8th graders had at MMU.
We hosted our second annual BRMS Fine Arts Night on Thursday evening. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the many talented artists at BRMS. A special thank you goes to our art teacher, Frannie Willard, for the many hours that she spent organizing this incredible event. We are already starting to make plans for next year’s event.
Please be sure to check out the pictures from both events and make sure to check our calendar for all of the upcoming events for the students of BRMS.
Have a great weekend
Kevin
