Girl Talk Update!

I had the first official Girl Talk meeting at BMS today! We had a great time. I currently have 25 girls signed up. I still have a few openings in grade 6th and 8th. Permissions forms are in the guidance office.

Below is a description of what is covered.

The group focuses on friendship, peer pressure, being of good character, etc. We will make crafts and have several speakers. I have sponsored this group for years and the students have a ton of fun. Permission forms will be in the counseling office. Space is limited.

Midterms, this Week!

Can you believe it?! This week is midterm. This is a great time to review grades. Take this time to decide what can be done to make improvements and reach higher goals. I included a picture that explains how to form goals. I am proud of all the hard work that students have been doing! Parents, please continue checking grades and keeping your son / daughter focused on their goals. Students, keep up the good work.

Remember 9/11

Grandparents Day
