Day 1 is underway at BVMS! ⚔️📣 After our middle school cheerleaders gave our 6th-graders a big Viking welcome yesterday, all of our students arrived this morning ready to make this year amazing! We’re so excited to have our BVMS family back on campus. Here's to an incredible year ahead! 🛡️💙
Every piece comes together for a great school year! 🧩⚓️
We officially launched the new school year with our district-wide Essential Pieces convocation! Keynote speaker Dr. Adolph "Doc" Brown set an incredible tone for the day—using his signature blend of humor and heart to remind us of the power of leading with empathy and building genuine connections with every student.
Our educators and leaders spent the afternoon in targeted professional development breakout sessions, sharpening classroom strategies and equipping themselves to support student growth across all grade levels.
Superintendent Glen East closed out the day with inspiring words for the road ahead. The pieces are in place, and we can’t wait to welcome our Admirals back! 🎉⚓
