Thankfulness

By Richard Swanson


We have a lot to be thankful for at BMS.  We have had a great start to the school year with many new things happening in the system.  We are now a 6th-8th grade building and have added many new learning experiences for our students.  We have added a block schedule which has allowed our students to spend more time with teachers and dive deeper into the necessary relationships and learning materials.  We continue to get specific about what we are teaching and measuring our progress on those specifics.  We continue to find ways to share the BMS story and connect with the great families and community here in Byron.  In every example above, it is people that make all of those things a reality.  Those people have put many hours into creating a learning environment that is aligned to the unique and amazing students we serve.  Our students have had the right attitudes and put forth the effort to grow and learn to the best of their abilities.

It is a great thing to be a part of a "learning community" that focuses on creating students of good character who will work hard to learn at deep and meaningful levels.  We appreciate the parents, students, teachers, paras, support staff, custodians and community members that support the great things happening at BMS!  We will continue to get better at what we do, which is inspiring young adolescents to learn new things and become people that will make a positive impact on the world around them.  We thank you for your help and look forward to the future and all that it will bring!
