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

• Help encourage students to support the Coin War in partnership with our 6th grade ELA staff. Details below.
• Best of luck to our students traveling to Solo and Ensemble music contests this weekend.
• 7th Grade students will receive Healthy Life Choices Programming to be delivered by MS Wellness Teachers, Dr. Keating and Mr. Sunday, on Monday 3/23/26 and Tuesday 3/24/26. Students will attend out of 7th grade science classes. Please find the form here that will also be emailed to families. If your student is enrolled in or has taken 7th grade Wellness already, they will not need to participate in the program and will be provided an extension activity in science. Please note that you can sign and return the opt out form to the office or email JoshFrame@bwls.net if this is your family decision.

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 the next two weeks, March 16 - 26, and all three teams across 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 American coins, please) each day next week to help their building-wide team A, B, or C 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!
