Good morning BCMS Community;
Last week’s end of week notes were delayed to remind all of
the Great Event we have tonight for new students including all of our 6th
graders.
At tonight’s PTO Meeting we will have student
representatives from our various clubs and activities give a brief overview of
each with the hope of recruiting new members or simply promoting the mission of
each club.
The meeting begins at 7:00 PM and is located in our Library.
Congrats to our many Fall Sports teams on their successful seasons both here at BCMS and to our former BCMS student-athletes now at the HS.
Congrats also to our BC Chess Club who won their home invitational this weekend in defense of their regional championship the last two years.
Congrats and thanks to our Garden Club for their work at this weekend's Delmar Farmer's Market.
Lastly, it might sound strange that I congratulate the students and staff that attended the Washington, D.C. trip this past weekend but any time we have a group represent our schools, our families and our students with pride and dignity, as this group did, we're grateful that they maintain the legacy of the many groups before them!
On behalf of our PTO we look forward to seeing you at our meeting tonight!
Mr. Klugman
