(Nominated by a member of our BMS Learning Community) This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Amy Boyle. I am always super excited about math and social studies because I know I get to see her. She always brightens my day and inspires me. She's very funny but also is straightforward when it comes to work.

Thank you Michelle for stepping in and leading the students in what was an amazing performance.
