Dear BHMS Families:

I want to wish you a safe and restful Memorial Day Weekend! We are in the home stretch of the school year! While we are still in a virtual setting, there are some exciting upcoming milestones highlighted in the articles below, that combine video presentations along with some limited opportunities to see each other in person. Our whole staff can’t wait to see you and the students of BHMS.

Please take time this weekend to relax so you are ready for the annual sprint to the finish!

Sincerely, 

Randy English, Principal
Bloomfield Hills Middle School
