BWMS Family Update

BWMS Parents and Community,

I would like to thank the students and staff for their flexibility and encouragement during our annual service day. There was much joy at our school after students returned from serving the community. No act of service, no matter how small is ever wasted. I'd say that was a great day!

100% of staff and students showed great effort and generosity to support our greater Big Walnut Community at 50+ sites totaling over 2500 hours of support. Truly SOARing Students - ones that choose to go above and beyond expectations. I want to thank our Principal Leadership Team for helping plan such an event. I also would like to thank our staff for believing in such a day and commitment to modeling service each and every day of the year. We grately appreciate our BWMS PTO and Sponsors who believe in this project and in our students. Finally, I want to thank the community and parents for encouraging our students to be involved citizens with a heart for service and a mind which thinks of others. Great job BWMS!

Special Shout Out to our wonderful BWMS PTO for fantastic Staff Appreciation Week. The adults at BWMS felt the love and appreciation this week.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Mother's Day,

~Mr. Josh Frame
