BMS Friday Folder
March 8, 2013
|
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Next Friday, March 15th, we are encouraging all students and faculty members to wear white as part of a "white out" to take a stand in solidarity against bullying and intolerance. Students will also be participating in designing symbols, slogans and messages during our lunch periods that will then be put on display throughout the school building. I encourage you to urge your children to wear white on that day to help show a unified front in confronting this issue. Have a great weekend.
Regards,
Shawn Kelly

Here is a link on how teens experience social networking. Please feel free to take a look! Click here to access the link. Attention: 8th Graders and Parents of 8th Graders!! Did you know Bernards High School has a ski race team? They race and train at Hidden Valley, Mountain Creek and just over the State border in New York @ Mount Peter. Great fun, good exercise and there's no better way to combat the Winter "blahs" locally. The team has a professional coach and there's a bus that the team commutes in for practices and races. No race experience is needed, but we'd require that the kids be at least intermediate level skiers. Our ski team has been incredibly successful in recent years including producing the #1 ski racer in the State, qualifying for the team State finals for boys and girls almost every year, and winning conference championships. This past season the girl's team placed 6th in the State and they had the youngest team. Please contact us if you'd like further information about the program: Kay Lister 908-221-1498 kayandrogerfhill@aol.com
