Pride of the Hive: Mrs. Merrill has made such a positive impact at BMS since joining our faculty. She has jumped right in to do anything asked. She did a phenomenal job hosting the Student Council voting, and she is currently helping organize a Veteran's Day program for our school. Mrs. Merrill has been eager to help with anything asked and always does a great job with it all!
