This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Alex Zilian. I am so incredibly proud of Alex Zilian! Alex has transformed as a student over his years here at BMS. From his attendance to his grades, to his work ethic and attitude...Alex, I couldn't be more proud of you and the work you have put in to become the student you are today! (nominated by Mrs. Poirier) This week we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Eighth-grade students Benjamin Zhang, Matthew Tian, and Caroline Steger. They spent time at the end of Sports Night cleaning up trash left behind by other students in the board game area. They are models for what we wish to see in our community. Well done, Benjamin, Matthew, and Caroline! (nominated by a BMS Faculty member) Do you know of a BMS Faculty/Staff/Student member that is shining bright?
