My Project

Here at BMES, we are aiming to make a big push to decrease chronic absenteeism! We have also endured many days where weather prohibited students from enjoying the outdoors during their recess times.

After surveying students (3rd-5th grade), they have decided on adding a PS5 as an incentive AND alternate choice for indoor recess.

With your help, we will be able to make this a reality!

Students will be able to play sport games such as NBA 2k and NFL Madden as well as Just Dance and Sing Star.

We would like to thank you in advance for your help with this important initiative!
