The annual BLMS Awards Ceremony is taking place on Tuesday, June 5th starting with a mix and mingle from 6:30-7:00 in the cafeteria. Dessert and refreshments will be served. The awards will begin at 7:00 in the gymnasium. This year we have over 100 students who are being recognized for excellence, be that academic or extra-curricular. The list is posted outside the main office in the lobby. Each student is allowed to invite two guests, and can pick up those invitations in the office from Mrs. Rodgers.
Reminder to all students that with the warmer summer weather upon us, we need to ensure that what we choose to wear to school is appropriate for school. Short shorts/skirts, muscle shirts, etc all have a place in our wardrobe ... but they are not suitable for the school setting. If you are in doubt, please ensure that you bring a second option to school incase you are asked to change. That will avoid having someone bring you a change of clothing.
