A couple of 8th graders made cards for suicide prevention month this year, and they were pulled aside and got in a lot of trouble for giving them to teachers to display in their classrooms. The teachers said that saying “if you commit suicide, the people you love will miss you” was condoning it. They also got mad when the cards said that the school wasn’t doing anything about the month, even though they don’t. They say that they were planning on doing something snd a month went by with nothing but a few anti bullying posters being put in the halls. You don’t have to put up posters and make an announcement, I understand this is a middle school and it may be a heavy/insensitive topic for some. But the least you can do is not lie, and actually do something about the bullying that causes thoughts like that in your students.

BMS has great, caring staff, and it is small enough that there is a lot of personal attention for the students. One 8th grade teacher was named Teacher of the Year for Frederick County! Our son had a great 3 years there.

I have been attending BMS for 2 years now, and I attended BES for 6 years. And let me tell you, this school sucks! The bus drivers are the worst, and most of the teachers are bad too! Its dirty and unsanitary. The dress code is stupid. Apparently shoulder blades are distracting? And if you have an issue with bullying, they do nothing about it! Do NOT come to this school.
