BMS would like to say thank you to all the people who made the Spring Athletic Banquet a success! Of course, this could not happen without Kristan Davis flying the plane! Thanks to all the parents who brought their kids out so that we could celebrate them.
I would like to extend a big thank you to our custodian Mike Sturgell for helping four crazy ladies learn how to use a chair rack! Also to John Stanley for saving us when we had no cutlery for SPAGHETTI!
Many of the parents offered to help with various things also. We have the cream of the crop when it comes to community!
Thanks for a wonderful night celebrating our kids!
I cannot put into words how proud and appreciative I am of Kristan Davis. I knew her in elementary school because I had her sister. She then went through BMS. When she became a teacher I hired her do a long term substitute job. Within a week, I knew that BMS had to have her permanently. She had some other educational job commitments at that time. However, that was NOT going to stop me. I persevered! I now have her as a permanent Math Teacher and Athletic Director. She has by far returned more to the students of BMS than any student to enter the doors.
I hope the athletic community know how fortunate they are to have Kristan. She constantly advocates for all things sports! She has lifted the athletic program at BMS to a level that would never have been possible without her. She will not stop until our kids are provided with a program that is second to none.
And ...... that is only what she does with the athletic part of her job!
She is also one of the most effective teachers I have had in 21 years.
These successes are both based on her love for kids, refusal to stop trying, and selfless nature.
I am so thankful for this young lady.
