It has been another busy and memorable week here at BCMS!

It was overall a positive and uplifting week filled with opportunities for our students to come together as a school community and have fun with our staff members.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity shown by our families and staff in support of our Red Rock families. Your donations and kindness have made a meaningful difference during a difficult time, and we will continue to support these families in the weeks ahead. In the last two days alone, we raised over $400 to donate to support these families.

We also want to thank our Student Council for organizing a wonderful Celebrity Scoop event at Rita’s in support of the Meghan Rose Bradley Foundation. It was a great way for our school community to come together for a meaningful cause. Mrs. Bradley was able to speak to each of our grade levels on Thursday about the inspiration for the organization and the work they do to support Pediatric Brain Cancer research.

In addition, our students enjoyed a series of fun, school-wide activities planned by our Student Leadership class, including a Rock-Paper-Scissors contest and the Falcon Feud assembly. These events helped build school spirit and provided opportunities for students to connect and celebrate together.

To wrap up the week, we held student vs. staff volleyball games, which were a big hit with students and staff alike and a great way to head into the break on a high note.

As we head into spring break, we hope your family is able to enjoy time together, relax, and recharge. We look forward to welcoming students back for a strong finish to the school year.

Warm regards,

Beth Stanton

Principal, BCMS
