News & Notes from BMS for September 1st, 2017
Spirit Day: Wednesday, September 6th Brandon Blue-Football Allergy Reminder: This is a reminder that all BMS classrooms are peanut/nut butter, tree nuts, and egg free. However, your student is allowed to bring these food items to be eaten in our cafeteria at lunch time. Our stage area is going to be a peanut/nut butter, tree nuts, and egg free zone. That means if your student brings any of these items in their lunch they have to eat their lunch on the main level of the cafeteria. Washington DC 8th Graders: Our 8th Grade trip to Washington DC is scheduled for this fall, October 18-23. If you have not registered, there is still time to do so, but you must hurry as many important things are happening in preparation for the trip.

Suggested items are Fruit Snacks, Rice Krispy Treats, Cheezits, or other similar items from Sam's Club or Costco. 7th grade Parents: Information about next year’s Washington DC trip will be given to your student after this year’s 8th grade trip so that you can attend a parent meeting to find out more about the 2018 trip. Hockey: Please read the attached documents about how to introduce your student to the game of hockey.
