Attention Grade 8 Parents

"Want to plan your daughter/son's BRMS 8th Grade Recognition Night?  With a little help from BRAG, 8th grade parents organize and plan their son/daughter's Recognition Night. 

Parents are needed to break into committees to plan decorating the gym, drinks, food, plants/flowers, tablecloths, building a balloon arch, designing a slide show or whatever you want. This can be a big job so many hands help make this easy - and lots of fun!

Please come to the planning meeting for parents next Tuesday, May 10, at 6:30 PM in BRMS library! This is the only whole group planning meeting; after this only separate committees will meet. 

We will also discuss the possibility of a dance you may choose to hold after the Recognition ceremony. 

Questions? Contact Leslie Dee at ladonawhim@gmail.com. Please spread the word to friends. Hope to see you there!"

Pantene Beautiful Lengths Fund

The BRMS Community is supporting the the Pantene Beautiful Lengths Fund (make a donation of 8 inches of hair or $8.00) and you can help! Watch Brittany's story on the website on your own or in CPR groups. For women and children battling cancer, the appearance of strong, healthy hair is so important. This program is partnered with the American Cancer Society and donates real-hair wigs to those in need, but it's a very expensive process.

You can help by making a financial donation on the website, by bringing in a cash donation to the BRMS Guidance Center, or a check payable to Cincinnati Foundation--Panteen Beautiful Lengths Fund, OR  by donating 8 inches of YOUR hair!

*On May 16, Heather Oakes from Shear Envy will be coming to BRMS to do haircuts for those wanting to donate hair (thank you for donating your expertise and time Heather!). For students wanting to donate hair, please pick up a permission slip in the Guidance Center!

Thank you for supporting this thoughtful cause. Please contact me if you have any questions!
