This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on John Barbosa! As many of you know, John Ferreira has been out. I am happy to report that John F is doing well. In his absence, John Barbosa has stepped in to serve our school as our day custodian. Thank you, John, for being there for our students and teachers, ensuring our school is clean and safe. We appreciate all that you and your team do for BMS daily. This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on Becky Trahan and Alex Killeen. Our tech department comes through for us everyday! Becky is approachable, knowledgeable, and patient! She is never too busy to answer the same questions over and over. She has a huge workload but always manages a smile and kind words for everyone. And if you have had the pleasure of working with Alex, you know that he often appears as soon as you put in a tech request. His humor and support helps us remain calm in tense tech situations. Thank you to both of you. Your contributions do not go unnoticed! (Nominated by a member of our BMS community) This week, we would like to shine our BMS Spotlight on BMS Student Charlotte Kelly. Charlottle always has a smile on her face and is always there to help someone. She is kind to all and will try to make someone's day.
