BWMS Family Update
4/17/25
Ohio Military Family Spirit Week
BWMS Community,
Thank you for your attention and dedication to providing a great testing environment for our students by helping them charge that chromebook and get a good night of sleep. I also want to give a big shout out to our school counselors for helping prepare all of the documents and supports. Now we get a week off from testing before we plan to finish strong with Math on 4/29 & 4/30 and then 8th Grade Science of 5/1.
Ohio Military Family Spirit Week
I am looking forward to next week as our school shows support for our Military-Connected families district wide. Special thanks to our building Purple Star leaders for helping plan events to make this week special for our kids. Looking forward to seeing the efforts of the District committee come to life at BWMS!
Enjoy the extended weekend,
~Mr. Josh Frame
