Preschoolers' First Bus Ride

On Friday, 8/28, we welcomed our youngest learners to the new school year at preschool orientation. Parents and children had the chance to take their first bus ride together. We watched the bus pull away while children waved from the window!

Summer Reading Program to help your child continue learning and reading.

Want your child to continue reading this summer? 

Consider signing him/ her up for this program, through Lyndon State College, for the summer. It looks great! It includes decoding lessons, fluency practice, and comprehension work. On line books are included, and the video lessons look really engaging and tons of fun. This recommendation 

came from another BPMS parent and Mrs. Ehtesham.
