A MESSAGE FROM THE BMS PTO

PTO recognized all BMS teachers and staff with a Dunkin Donuts gift card. Each of the teachers and staff also received a breakfast bag that included donuts and a bagel. We wanted to thank everyone for all of their efforts during this challenging year. 

A special thank you to Aswin at Dunkin in Bensenville for donating donuts for this event, and also to the parents who made monetary donations for the bagels and put the bags together.

PTO is looking for new members to help with events during the next school year. Please contact Tina Sisto (sistos4@sbcglobal.net) if you are interested in joining.

 We are also looking for someone who would be willing to organize and head up the fall and spring book fairs for the 2021-2022 school year.
