We are in the full swing of fall! The air is crisp and the autumnal colors are beginning to emerge. Our students continue to enjoy the sun and fresh air during recess, which is a wonderful sight.
Our first Learning Celebration of the year was amazing! Dr. Nia Nunn, the talented G-Quan Booker, and two of our living legends, Fe Nunn and Mrs. Denise Lee, former BJM Teachers, led us in a joyful demonstration of dance, music, and poetry. Students participated right along with our presenters during this joyful and remarkable kick-off.
Mark you calendars! Don't forget to save the dates for these upcoming important events below. All upcoming BJM events can be found on our school website.
Thursday, October 10 is our Curriculum Night from 5:00-6:30 p.m.
Practice Lockdown drill next Thursday, October 17. Please see the Safety Practice and Drills letter for more information.
The week of October 7, 2024 we will be sending the 2023-24 NYS ELA and Math assessments home in red folders. Please be on the look out for them. They will be in a sealed envelope.
This month we will also continue to practice fire evacuation drills. Before we practice a drill, we teach and review with students the expectations on how to remain safe.
