Premier Graham, class of 1986, visited Mr. Mazerolle's World Issues class to discuss the sale of NB Power. The Premier said he was always glad to get back to BLMS as he felt right at home, therefore it was only fitting that he took a seat with the students where he once sat 19 years ago.
We have an on-going issue with some students who are bringing vehicles to school. The problem centers on students using those vehicles... arriving late in the morning, leaving during class times and/or taking other students with them. All three situations are disruptive and take away from student learning. There are also some safety issues and implications for student insurance! Effective immediately any student using a vehicle during class time will not be permitted to park it on school property for the remainder of the semester.
The BLMS Home and School Association, under the direction of Brenda Fahey, has made a $500 donation of books to our library. Ms. Leblanc is busy creating a wish list of current titles that students have been requesting. We are extremely grateful for the addition to our collection and this support of our literacy initiatives. Thank you to the Home and School Association! If, as a parent, you would like to become involved in the work of the association, leave your name with Ms. McEachern and she will connect you to Ms. Fahey.
On Friday, November 27th, 120 BLMS students will be travelling to James M. Hill High School in Miramichi to represent our school and take part in the Olympic Torch Celebration. This is a unique opportunity to be part of Olympic and Canadian history as we recognize and celebrate the arrival of this Olympic symbol in our area. This will be a wonderful experience for all students and in particular for Peter Hachey, Justin Lawson and Carolyn Simon, our local torch bearers

Fees are $40 per student ... $70 for two in the same house hold ... $90 for three or more. (Fees go towards things like the Kevin Brooks presentation which cost us $ 1249.00)
Ms. Dawn Glendenning (Hudson) has joined the staff of BLMS, effective November 9, 2009. We welcome Mrs. Glendenning and we look forward to the positive contribution she will make to both the students and staff. Welcome Mrs. Glendenning!
