Congratulations to our Students of the Month!

Veteran's Day Program

All seventh and eighth grade students attended the Veteran’s Day ceremony at Bloomer High School on November 11. Our fifth and sixth grade students watched a livestream of the program from their classrooms at BMS. BMS students currently enrolled in our Business Service Learning course presented a $1200 check to our local Veterans Memorial at the event. The class collected sponsorships to purchase flags in honor of our veterans, and created a field of flags at the front entrance of BMS.

Honoring our Veterans

Veterans Visit with Fifth Graders

Local veterans spent an afternoon with our fifth graders. The veterans shared stories, taught the kids about flag folding and etiquette, and even brought a sweet treat to share with students!

Wall of Honor

BMS social studies teachers provided students the opportunity to honor the veterans and active military personnel in their lives. Staff, students, and community members spent time reading and learning about this individuals and their service to our country.
