BWMS Community,

BWMS was honored to host many local Heroes today at our 7th Annual BWMS Veterans Day Breakfast. Organized by student and staff leaders, many Veterans were able to enjoy a great program and special meal with their BWMS student. I wish to share special thanks to our local Scouts, Builders Club, MS Choir, Daniel Nikolenko, Staff leaders (Ms. Donohue, Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Beeson & Mrs. Grubb) and many Community Partners for serving such a vital role in the preparation and execution of such an event. Check out the Placemat below. Also, special thanks to PJs Family Restaurant for providing awesome food to help us honor our Veterans. More pictures coming soon with a special thanks to Mrs. Stewart. Great Job BWMS and Community!

Go Eagles - Beat Ashland,
