Dear Families,

It is with great sadness that we send this Monday newflash.  We are grieving the loss of one of our BMS staff members.  Mr. Cecil Brown was an instructional assistant who worked individually with some of our students on D pod.  Many of our students remember him as a part of their classrooms.

Mr. Brown passed away from extensive health issues.  We want to make sure families know that Mr. Brown did not have H1N1 and had not been in the school since mid-September. 

Our guidance counselor will be addressing this with our students tomorrow afternoon.  We wanted to inform you of this today so that you might be available to your child when they come home tomorrow.  Ms. Heft will be available to talk with students individually to provide support; however, as your children come home, they may have questions for you or may want to talk about their concerns.  We want to make you aware so that you can assist your child and provide support for their concerns.

Please feel free to contact us or Ms. Heft if you have questions.  We will do all we can to support you and your child through this difficult time.
