We Are Bremerton!

We had a great first day - and two weeks of school! We look forward to many more weeks of discovery, growth, and achievement in the months ahead!

More than 120 families who shared their first day of school photos with us on Facebook - and we loved EVERY ONE OF THEM!

As you may have seen, there is lots going on with the school and community sports complex at Mountain View Middle School. We made a lot of progress over the summer. A few noticeable components:

While some of the more visible work will stop during the winter months, construction will continue behind the scenes to keep the project moving forward.

• September: Multi-use field base stone installation
• Late-September / October: Field lighting installation
  
• October: Football field/track base stone installation
  
• October/November: Multi-use field elements installation (such as home plate and soccer goal anchors)
  
• October / November: Concessions building walls constructed
  
• November / December: Concessions roof framing to be built
  

Hispanic Heritage Month is recognized in the U.S. September 15- October 15. In Bremerton School District, our second largest student group is Hispanic/Latino.

Students from Armin Jahr Elementary were invited to wear clothing representative of their heritage on Sept 15th, the first day of Hispanic Heritage month (see photos below).

Why does it begin mid-month?

September 15 is the recognized independence day for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Mexico (Mexico's is technically the 16th, but the celebration starts on the 15th with the "Grito de Dolores").

Learn more (and find additional resources) through the Library of Congress's Hispanic Heritage Month Webpage.

We were so glad to join community partners offering resources and information at the annual Back- to-School Bash at Marvin Williams Recreation Center in August!

We hosted a table and fun activities at the Back-to-School Night at the Bremerton Community Farmers' Market in August. We loved seeing many of our families - and meeting some families that are new to the District who stopped by to say "hi" or to get their questions answered!

Artwork created by Mountain View Middle School students was on display at the annual 9/11 Memorial ceremony at Evergreen Rotary Park.

The Bremerton High School Robotics Team "Bremertron" recently held their first meeting of the year. The team set up an old robot as a demonstration to the students in attendance who were new to the Team.

This fall, the team's focus is fundraising, outreach/recruitment and safety/technical training. After winter break, they will start the process of designing, building and programing a new robot from scratch!

Dr. Crawford took his Oath of Office administered by ESD Superintendent Aaron Leavell at the Olympic Education Services District, and attended his first official BSD Board meeting on July 13th.
