Kindness Matters @ BMS!


We held an all-school assembly here on Tuesday afternoon.  Our theme - "Kindness Matters" - will be something we talk about all through the month of December.  The program, planned by Elizabeth Bennett, Julia Brodmerkle and their students (with help from several other kind adults) was a huge success!  On of the highlights was a video about kindness featuring staff and students from BMS.  If you are interested, you can watch that video here.

Students make a "grand entrance" to our Assembly!

Intervention Block

We've begun our school-wide intervention block here at Berlin Memorial!

Our goal is to gather small groups of children with similar needs together to help them make rapid progress in a specific skill.  Some students are working on relearning an old skill, others are working on new skills.  The goal is to make sure that everyone is challenged every day!
