BWMS Families,

The 1st School Dance for 6th Graders at BWMS is this Tonight Friday 9/27/24 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM in the cafeteria. We will have a DJ play some good tunes and the kids will have a great time eating snacks from the concession stand. School Dances at BWMS are limited to our students and chaperoned by school staff. The cost is $5.00 at the door. Entrance will occur from the Athletic Entrance at the side of the building and student pick up will be according to the designated grade-level parking lot (please see below) with all 6th grade students exiting the main entrance. We will encourage student pick up to enter from S Old 3C and exit on Letts Ave and for parents of 6th grade students to park in the front lot. Students will come to you at your car. Please note that this event is for BWMS Students Only and casual dress is encouraged. In addition, all school rules continue to apply at the dance. We look forward to our students enjoying this event.

In addition, BW spirit week is coming! Check out the spirit days below and encourage your student to join in the BWMS Fun.

Have a great day and Go Eagles!

Sincerely,

Mr. Josh Frame
