BWMS Family Update

BWMS Community,

One more week and I believe we can make it a great one, especially with SPIRIT WEEK sponsored by our Student Council. I am looking forward to seeing that BW Spirit come alive this week.

Go Eagles - Lets SOAR!

Keep focused and make that final push to Spring Break.

~Mr. Josh Frame

In response to a recent reading of A Long Walk to Water, the 6th grade ELA team is sponsoring a “Coin War” to raise money to benefit Water for South Sudan, a nonprofit organization that helps build wells in Africa. This Coin War will occur next week, March 17 - 21, and all three grades are given the opportunity to compete against one another to see who can bring in the most coins. The goal will be to raise $1000 to send to Water for South Sudan. Students can bring in coins (only coins, please) each day next week to help their 6th-7th-8th grade class win the contest. Coins will be weighed daily to see who is leading the pack! Our 6th grade students have worked hard in class preparing for the Coin War and we are excited to see our school come together for a great cause!

Our Purple Star Committee is happy to organize a Military Spirit Sale of red, white, and blue BW Eagles shirts (see image below) from March 10th-March 28th. Shirts will be delivered to buildings in time for our district wide spirit week honoring military families the week of April 21-25 (more details to come). If interested, please click this Military Spirit Sale Flier link or go straight to Pep Rally Apparel: BW Honor Support Tee.

Thank you for your support as a part of the proceeds go to our Purple Star fund and to the Wounded Warrior Project.
