BWMS Family Update

Last Week of 2025
BWMS Families,
Thank you for helping make the first half of the 2025-26 school year go so well. No doubt, the students and staff at BWMS have been working hard this first semester yet we have much to still accomplish. We can now rest well over the break knowing that we have given great effort in 2025. May the upcoming winter break provide much rest and relaxation. Enjoy time with your family and friends. We look forward to great things in 2026.
Lets finish in style with our Spirit Days and School Dance from Student Council.
Mr. Josh Frame
