"I have seen Mr. Kevesdy in action at BMS and I love it! Both my kids who had him say what fun he is, and the rapport he establishes with his students makes all the difference. He gets to them, they love him, so they try hard for him by learning and listening."

Thanks to all who supported the Walk for Water event last Sunday. 300+ walkers (and lots of pups) walked 3.75 miles to raise $ for fresh, clean water in Africa. The team exceeded its goal of $18,000, raising $25,500+! This $ will supply not 1, but 2 communities with water wells!

"My son has Mrs. Guinter at BMS. He comes home and tells me about social studies! He tells me about the projects they do and the things they learn in class. That is amazing because he is one of those who grunts hello to me as he flies by!"
