As part of our "All Day, Every Day!" attendance campaign, our students competed in the "First to 10 Wins" contest in their homerooms. Classrooms earn a point each day their homeroom is above 95% attendance for the day. When they get 10 points, they got to choose a reward. Our first winner is Mrs. Hanna's 8th grade homeroom, and they chose a pizza party!! Congrats to Mrs. Hanna's homeroom!!

BMS Rada Fundraiser - School Fundraiser with Rada Cutlery. All proceeds will go entirely to activities and field trips for our kids. The funding that allowed us to do these things the past couple of years has been cut. This is a great product. I have had some pieces for over 30 years! Please help us!
Zac Jenkins from the HATS program was at school today to talk about the program and hand out applications. This is a great program that provides so many opportunities for students not just in middle school but all the way through high school! Please ask your student about their interest. Students were able to pick up applications - those can be returned to Mrs. Hensley, and she will turn them in. If a student did not receive a paper application, you can also access it through the QR code on the handout attached to this post!
Students will be bringing this paper home today. It explains how our county uses the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS/WVTSS) to help all students succeed. While every student receives core instruction, those needing extra help are provided targeted or intensive support in academics or behavior. Progress is closely monitored, and if growth is not seen, further evaluations may be considered. Parents are important partners in this process and can request meetings or evaluations at any time.
Homecoming is next week! See attached information about Spirit Week and the Homecoming Dance.
