Dear 7th Grade Families, ​Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were informed that Blennerhassett Island cannot host us on April 30th. We have planned a new trip for The Wilds on May 8th to ensure that the 7th grade does not miss out on a field trip this year! A new permission form will be sent home on Monday, April 29th. The deadline to turn in the form and $20 to Mrs. Headley will be Thursday, May 2nd. Your student will be notified on Monday if they have already paid, and further payment will not be needed. However, if the permission slip is not returned, they will be unable to attend the new trip, and there will be no refunds issued. We apologize for any inconvenience.

8th Graders - Reminder tomorrow is the 8th grade field trip. BMS dress code is required. Students not dressed appropriately will remain at school. No refund will be given.

It is almost time for Penny Wars!! Penny Wars will be next week (April 29-May 3). Here is a quick run down of how it works: -Each morning there will be two jugs for each country set up in the cafeteria -One jug is for pennies and the other jug is for silver coins and paper money -Pennies count as POSITIVE for your country and silver/paper money count as NEGATIVE -So you should put pennies in your own country's jug and put silver and paper money in other country's jugs
