Falcon Family Message from Dr. Stanton

Dear BCMS Families,

As we wrap up another great week at BCMS, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership. It has been wonderful to see our students settling into routines, engaging in their learning, and beginning to explore the many opportunities our school offers.

This week we saw our fall sports teams take the field and course for their first games and meets of the season. We also launched Student Council and our Student Leadership courses, which are already helping students build teamwork and develop what it means to be a leader in our school community. These activities, both inside and outside the classroom, are important in shaping a strong, positive middle school experience for every Falcon.

We are excited about the weeks ahead and look forward to continuing to celebrate the hard work, growth, and successes of our students. Thank you for reinforcing the values of Preparedness, Responsibility, Integrity, Diligence, and Respect at home—they are what make our school community thrive.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,
Dr. Beth Stanton
