💛💜Meet the Tigers Monday!💜💛
Today we’re spotlighting two of our amazing Special Education Team members — Mrs. SueEllen Bates & Mr. Chris Skinner!🎉🐯
These two support our students through direct instruction, inclusion support, building emotional/behavioral skills, writing IEPs, building connections with families, and SO much more. They wear a LOT of hats — and they do it with so much heart.✨
One thing they both want families to know?
They truly believe they have the BEST students and the BEST team on campus — and they come to work each day excited to serve and support them.
We’re so grateful for the passion, humor, teamwork, and dedication they bring to BMS every single day!
Give it up for Mrs. Bates & Mr. Skinner!👏👏👏

🐯It’s time for Meet the Tigers Monday!🐯
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on our Girls P.E. Dream Team — Ms. Benoit & Ms. Streetman!💪🎽
These two bring the energy, encouragement, and heart every single day — helping our Tigers build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong healthy habits!💜💛
Ms. Benoit reminds us that “P.E. is more than just sports — we teach skills for lifelong health, not just games or competitions.” Her goal? To boost confidence, build trust, and make every student feel capable and strong — on and off the court!💫
Ms. Streetman says their P.E. team meets almost daily to find new ways to help every student succeed. “We love to brag on our students,” she shares, “and we even keep up with them as they shine in high school, college, and beyond!”🌟
When asked to describe their team, both agreed — Supportive. Family. Always ready to lift each other up, share ideas, and cheer one another on!
We’re so thankful for everything these amazing ladies do to keep our Tigers moving and motivated!🏃♀️
