Now is the best time to check to see who sponsored your child in the Race for Education. July 1 the files will be cleaned out and put into storage. Files will not be available after July 1! Volunteer of the month: The fall of 1992 saw this family return as patrons, both having graduated from BMS. The mother has helped to serve banquets, bake desserts, gone on field trips, decorate doors for “Teacher Appreciation Week,” volunteered in the cafeteria, helped with backtoschool day and coordinate the kitchen for the chicken barbeque for the sale. The father has served several years on the cattle sale committee, helped with backtoschool day (he was instrumental in getting the holes dug for the installation for the fence around the playground), and served several years on the Finance committee during his service the building of the new middle school wing was completed. Please join with me in saying THANK YOU to Darren and Caryn Peachey for giving many volunteer hours to BMS. May God continue to bless you and your family through the years. We will miss you, as your daughter graduates this year.

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11
