Each week in Bear Post we will share information from other schools in the cluster or community events that provide opportunities to connect and help each other. If you have anything you’d like to add, email [email protected]. While these are not sponsored or endorsed by the BMES PTA, we’re happy to help share information as appropriate.
Don’t forget those 1st day of school pictures! We have a printable sign for BMES that we would like to share with you. Please feel free to download and print the form here.
Please find the school supply list posted by Dr. Smith here.
