BWMS Family Update

BWMS Families,

Thanks for another fantastic week at BWMS. It was great to continue to see our students being challenged and engaged in classrooms throughout the week and then some time extra family partnerships during Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences.

Looks like it is time for a short, yet fun week at BWMS. I'm looking forward to seeing our students support our community with the Builder's Club Food Drive, NJHS Pie in the Face Challenge and everyone enjoy the Staff vs Student Volleyball Game and other fun activities planned by our Student Council. Check out those spirit days below.

Go Eagles - Beat those Tigers,

• The first WIN Day of BWMS will be on Friday 12/12/25. These are called "What I Need" Days because students have the choice of a number of activities to participate in for the last 60 minutes of school. The purpose of WIN Days is to build and maintain a positive climate and supportive relationships at BWMS. Students could select from over 30 different options and we look forward to these activities this day.
