This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Mrs. Krystal Leary, Ms. Kelly Nelson, Mrs. Janna Fadale, Mrs. Stephanie Nary, and Mrs. Jamie Poirier for organizing and facilitating this year’s Career Day. This past Friday, BMS was excited and curious as students attended workshops on possible careers. Thank you to all our amazing presenters, keynote speakers, and BHS Band! It was a fantastic day! This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on our 7th Grade Students! They exemplified the characteristics of Barrington Middle Students being responsible, respectful, and excelling in the areas of character, citizenship, collaboration, communication and critical thinking. It was evident through the way they comported themselves, asked good questions, and engaged with Career Day presenters that students reciprocally impacted their futures through their interaction with presenters. You make us proud! Do you know of a BMS Faculty/Staff/Student member that is shining bright? If you do, please complete the form below and we can include the nomination in an upcoming newsletter. | ||||||||||||||||||
