Math-a-thon

Beginning on January 23, BMS students will participate in our annual Math-a-thon, which is an opportunity for them and the Buford community to contribute donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.  Last year we collected almost $2,000 which was sent to St. Jude’s and was used to help children with cancer with the costs of their treatments and to help pay for cancer research.  This is also an opportunity for your child to practice their math skills when they complete the math booklet that accompanies the donation envelope.  Please consider participating in this worthy cause.

From the Principal

.Buford Middle School is "Learning through the Decades" this year. Each team has chosen a decade and will plan many activities around this time period. This will include major historical events, the music and other interesting trivia about the decade. We hope that your student enjoys the theme this year and learns many things about decades past. We are still focusing on our reading this year. We want all students to develop the love of reading! Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child.
