Let's Celebrate! Let's Celebrate!

This month BCMS will be celebrating National School Library Month! Students can find posts on Schoology including jokes, riddles, give aways, photo ops, FCPL Info, activities, and more.  Be sure to checkout our Social Media pages for information and posts as well.

Thank a School Librarian! Thank a School Librarian!

Friday, April 4th is National School Librarian Day! Honor a School Librarian  who has inspired you by sending a Schoology message, writing a note, or making a card. Mrs. Lungociu will be happy to help you find their name, school, and/or email and send it over to them if possible.  Send her a Schoology message if you need assistance!
