The BDMS Brief: October, 2026
Parents as Partners
Celebrating Our Book Fair Success!
A huge thank you to all of our incredible families who supported this year's Scholastic Book Fair! True to our theme of "Parents as Partners," your participation showed just how much we can achieve when we work together for our students.
Thanks to your support, we reached $8,659.55 in gross sales!
When evaluating our rewards, we had the choice between $1,998.62 in cash or $3,997.24 in Scholastic Dollars. To double the impact of your support, we have chosen to take the full $3,997.24 in Scholastic Dollars.
By taking full advantage of these purchasing dollars, we can stretch nearly $4,000 toward vital classroom resources, books, teacher wish lists, and exciting long-term goals, such as creating a dedicated Music classroom space and working toward bringing a library back to BDMS.
Thank you for partnering with us to build a brighter, book-filled future for our students!
A Heartwarming Afternoon at Donuts with Grandparents
Our gym was filled with joy and family love for this year's Donuts with Grandparents event! Thank you to every grandparent and special guest who took the time to celebrate with us, you made the afternoon truly unforgettable.
We are deeply grateful to Brittani Turner and her mother, Jacki, for leading the event again this year, as well as all of our wonderful parent volunteers who lent a helping hand behind the scenes to make the morning run smoothly.
We would also like to recognize our sponsors, Rockland Bakery and Vesuvios Restaurant, for providing the delicious treats and support that made this morning possible.
Above all, we appreciate everything our grandparents and special guests do for our school and community throughout the year!
Giving Back: BDMS Alumni Return for Flag Football Showcase
On Sunday, October 25th, the BDMS Intramural Club hosted an intersquad flag football game at Mount Saint Mary College. The event was made even more memorable by six BDMS alumni who returned to campus to assist and referee the game.
We extend a special thank you to:
- Don Bosco Prep: TJ (12th grade), Isaiah (10th grade), and CJ (10th grade)
- Our Lady of Lourdes HS: Anthony (12 grade), Sean (12th grade), and Guillermo (11th grade)
Thank you for coming back to support BDMS. We are incredibly proud of the fine young men you have become and wish you continued success both in the classroom and on the field!
