Dear BMCS Family,

It is so hard to believe that we are just days away from the end of our school year. It has gone by so quickly! As I reflect on the past year, I can see how much we have grown as a school community and I have endless hope for all that we will accomplish in the coming school years.

Our school children have had an exciting year of growth and learning…not just academic learning, but also that of a spiritual nature! They are taller, smarter and more faith-filled as a result of our school and their wonderful families.

This summer, my hope is that all of our school children will continue to read every day. That they will drop the video games and smart phones and get outside to play. I also hope that they will make a commitment to attend mass every weekend and that they will return to us in August for another year of faith, growth, and learning!

Have a wonderful summer break!

Blessings,

Mrs. Berg
