With the holiday season now getting into full swing, we are inviting all of our students to share one of their family's holiday cards with us so we can create a BMS family holiday card collage to decorate our main hallway. Cards can be dropped off in the card box located in the front of the Auditorium. We can't wait to see all of your holiday cards!
Thank you,
Jason Esposito, Beth Mullins, Keri Wing, Rob Tucker, Kristen Meoli, Ken Petersen & Ed Hoffman
