Hello BCMS Community!
As the 2020-2021 school year fast approaches in an environment like we’ve never experienced, the BCMS PTSA would like to extend a warm welcome to our 6th graders, our 7th and 8th grade BCMS veteran students, our families, teachers, Administrators and staff.
You’ve heard this slogan time and time again recently, but how true it rings.
“We’re all in this together”.
Therefore, it’s more important now than ever to come together STRONG and support our children and school. Please join the BCMS PTSA! https://bcms.memberhub.store/
Online payments only at this time. – All donations and $ to the PTSA are tax deductible
WAIT… PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ…. Being a member does not mean having to bite chunks out of your time budget or committing yourself to attending every meeting or volunteering for every event. This is a common false impression many parents have about joining the PTSA.
Just by joining, you’ve already done so much. The membership cost is just $10 per parent for the entire school year. Part of that fee goes directly into the BCMS PTSA budget. Think about what you would easily, without thought, spend $10 on in just 1 week? We all have plenty on our plates. We know! That’s why it’s great that YOU decide how active you want to be and do what best works for you and your family.
Just know that our members are a driving force behind the fun and important projects, programs and events that we MUST continue to support and provide virtually and physically. We need resourceful, creative and resilient parents like yourselves to be an integral voice in our school. Your voice is also what initiates positive changes we need to make at BCMS to continually enrich our children’s Middle School experience.
“Little by little a little becomes a lot.” – Tanzanian Proverb. A little bit from each of us can help ensure every child and teacher have what they need to thrive, especially in our current environment.
