Physical Education Classes

Our mustangs have been very busy the past few weeks getting ready for our annual end-of-year events. Students have been practicing activities they will be participating in during our Field Day and they have been running in practice relay races in preparation for our BMP Relay Races. Please see below for more information about these events to make sure your child is prepared to participate.

Field Day (K-5th)    - Wednesday, June 1st

Field Day (Multi-Age)    - Friday, June 3rd

During Field Day the students will be participating in a variety of physical activities both in the gym and outside. All students must wear sneakers and bring a water bottle to Field Day in order to safely participate. Please also consider having your child wear the following items: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and lightweight athletic clothing. 

BMP Relay Races      - Friday, June 3rd

Each year we take the two fastest girls and the two fastest boys from each class to form a class relay team. The teams then compete against other teams in their division in a relay race in front of the whole school. We also form some teacher relay teams to race against their students. Students competing in the relay races should wear sneakers and athletic clothing for this event.

The divisions for this event are listed below.

  • Multi-Age Division
  • Kindergarten Division
  • 1st Grade Division
  • 2nd & 3rd Grade Division

Next Year Placement Considerations

Families are welcome to share information about their child(ren) in preparation for classroom placement considerations for next school year.  Please know that we cannot accept placement requests by teacher name, rather characteristics of a teacher that may be a best fit.  We will take this information into consideration as class placements are determined.  We cannot guarantee a teacher request.

 

Yearbooks for Sale

Yearbooks are now available for purchase in the front office. The price is $15 per yearbook.  CASH ONLY will be accepted. We have limited quantities so get yours while supplies last.

 

BMP Attendance Matters!

Attendance matters and every day in school counts! 

 

International Night is Back!
