Happy Weekend, BMSS Families!

Veterans Day Celebration

We are looking for a Veterans Day speaker for our celebration on the afternoon of November 11! If you or someone you know would be interested in speaking to our students, please let me know.

We would also love to honor the veterans in our BMSS family by featuring photos of their service in a special slideshow presentation. Please use the link below to share your information and pictures. Thank you for helping us recognize and honor those who have served our country!

Red Ribbon Week, CHS Homecoming, and Book Fair!

Next week is going to be a busy and exciting one at BMSS! We will celebrate Red Ribbon Week with fun dress-up days, so be sure to check out the planned themes and encourage your student to participate.

It is also Champion High School Homecoming Week! Festivities kick off Monday night with the community parade and wrap up with the high school football game on Friday night.

We will also have our BMSS Book Fair happening next week! What a fun way to finish out the month of October!

Celebrating Our Outstanding Charger Students!

This past week, we recognized our 6th,7th & 8th grade Outstanding Charger Students for the first nine weeks! While we expect every student to come to school prepared, demonstrate kindness and responsibility, and strive to be their very best each day, these students have gone above and beyond in showing what it means to be a Charger.

They have demonstrated qualities such as leadership, perseverance, initiative, and a willingness to support and encourage their classmates. We are proud of these students for setting a positive example and helping make BMSS a great place to learn and grow.

As we head into another exciting week, let's continue to challenge ourselves to make good choices, show kindness, and give our best in everything we do. Let's make it a great week to be a Charger!

Have a wonderful weekend!

TRENDS we are seeing

PLEASE remind your students that if they see something, they should say something. They can discreetly email an administrator, come talk to one of us, or they can fill out a P3. Please encourage them to report immediately- be specific with details: the location, the time frame, and the involved parties.

We have had some "slap fighting matches" reported in restrooms. Please encourage your students to keep their hands to themselves. Horseplay nearly always leads to altercations and someone being hurt. This is NOT something that we want to have as an ongoing trend. Remind your student that if they see this, they should exit the restroom immediately and report to an adult.

We are seeing some academic dishonesty - students sharing their work with others to copy. Encourage your student to be proud of their own work, and if they worked hard to complete it, don't just let someone copy- the learning is in the productive struggle, not being given the answers.

At both breakfast and lunch, as students are dismissed, we are having A LOT of TRASH left behind on tables and floors. Even when students are asked to throw things away, they often say or act like "it's not mine" and keep walking, leaving a mess for our custodians. Please encourage your student to do the right thing, because it's the right thing. We know that you expect better manners than that!

We are also continuing to see students manipulating other students into buying them things in the cafeteria or trading or sharing things from their own lunches. This is not okay. If your child is experiencing this, please let us know. When we see this, we are trying to reach out. Please encourage your child to only use the money you intended for them, for them!

We are seeing an increase in vandalism, especially in restrooms; an example is soap dispensers being pulled off the walls and thrown away or into urinals.

We appreciate all of the support and encouragement of our students to do the right thing, because it is the right thing - even if no one is looking.

Join Us for Thriller in the Park — A Spooktacular Night of Service!

Get ready for a frighteningly fun Boerne ISD tradition! BISD theatre programs invite the community to join us for the Sixth Annual Thriller in the Park, bringing hundreds of middle and high school students together for an unforgettable evening of music, dancing, costumes, and community service.

Students from across Boerne ISD will take the field in their best zombie attire to perform a massive, synchronized dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, along with additional musical performances showcasing the incredible talents of our BISD students.

Best of all, this night of entertainment has a purpose.

Admission is a donation of non-perishable food items, which will benefit Hill Country Family Services and help provide food for families right here in Kendall County. Guests are encouraged to bring generously and help us fill the shelves!

Thriller in the Park is a celebration of One Boerne and our Core Value of Commitment to Service. It’s a chance for students, families, staff, and community members to come together, have a little spooky fun, and use the arts to make a meaningful difference for our neighbors.

Over the years, Thriller in the Park has grown from a local performance into a beloved community tradition—one that reflects this year’s district theme, Rooted in Legacy, Reaching for the Stars. We’re proud to continue that legacy of creativity, service, and community spirit with another generation of BISD performers.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring a bag of food—and come watch our students bring Thriller to life!

We can’t wait to see our Boerne community come together for a night of great performances, great fun, and an even greater cause.

Outstanding Chargers!
