~ BMS Spotlight on Learning ~ |
This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Kristen Anderson. Kristin Anderson has recently become one of the two district-wide Art Department Heads. I am honored to work alongside her as her talent, knowledge, and enthusiasm for art is contagious. Congratulations Kristin! (Nominated by a BMS Faculty/Staff Member) This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Amy Boyle. My teacher is very kind and isn't afraid to mess up on something. She doesn't care what people think about her and I think that she is very inspiring and funny. (Nominated by Razz Student Olivia Kinnane) This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Jen Perreira. Jen has been working very hard to support her students as a whole learner. Her communication and efforts with the families and students are invaluable in their goal attainment and growth. Thanks Jen for all you do for your students! (Nominated by a BMS Faculty/Staff Member). This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Jamie Poirier. Jamie has been working so hard to get to know these incoming 6th-grade students and their families so that they can feel connected to their learning community and foster strong trusted adult relationships. Jamie is a strong team player and is always willing to follow up to support my work when I have to be in other buildings and cannot follow up on important tasks as quickly as I would like to best support these children. Her teamwork and overall work ethic and efforts are greatly appreciated. (Nominated by a BMS Faculty/Staff Member) Do you know of a BMS Faculty/Staff/Student member that is shining bright?
