BWMS Family Update
3/15/24
Spirit Week is Coming
BWMS Community,
Crazy weather last night and hope all are safe. Please reach out to the school if your family is in need.
One more week and I believe we can make it a great one, especially with SPIRIT WEEK sponsored by our Student Council. I am looking forward to seeing that BW Spirit come alive this week.
Go Eagles - Lets SOAR!
Keep focused and make that final push to Spring Break.
~Mr. Josh Frame
