Construction work to begin on Mt Airy Road January 7, 2013

There will be construction work on Mt Airy Road beginning January 7 for several weeks. Water mains on Mt Airy Road between South Street and Prospect Avenue are being replaced. The contractor plans on allowing school buses to travel on Mt Airy, but there may be delays if equipment needs to be moved to allow the buses to pass. We will be monitoring buses and make adjustments to pick up times if necessary. For those children whose bus stop locations are on Mt Airy Road, we will have to wait and see how the construction work will impact them.

 

Please advise any children who walk on Mt Airy Road to use extreme caution during the construction work.

BMS Lady Bulldogs Off to 10-0 Start to Season!!

It may be cold outside this time of year, but it is red-hot on the BMS basketball court, as your Lady Bulldogs are off to an impressive 10-0 start to the season. After giving second-year Head Coach Stephanie Ronco an early Christmas present with wins against Chester (31-27), Boonton (42-17) and Tewksbury (41-29) before the holiday break, the girls rang in the New Year with imposing wins over formidable opponents in Madison and Florham Park.  Teamwork is the name of the game for these "Dogs," with each of the following members contributing over the course of season: Caroline Baratta, Hanna Christian, Elyse Cohan, Caroline Dolan, Anna Lockward, Nicole McCloskey, Laurel McHale, Gianna Novella, Ashley Petersen, Paige Petty, Sammi Re, Cara Scaliti, Lindsey Uber and Jenna Whelan.  The backcourt of "Nothin' but Net" Baratta (14ppg) and "Pick your Pocket" Petty (4 steals per game) orchestrate a star-studded cast, while Coaches Ronco and  Michelle LeDrappier direct the team as well as any Broadway production.  So, come out and see in person the Lady Bulldogs' own rendition of "Bring It On."  It's much cheaper than trekking into the City -but just as entertaining!
