Our 2024 Big Apple Crunch was a success! Approximately 900 apples were crunched at the same time in our back field, celebrating local apples and our Farm to School initiative. Justin Robinson kindly donated his time (and drone!) for pictures and videos and we also made a short slideshow of staff pictures. See the links below.

Good afternoon,
This afternoon, at approximately 1:08 p.m., we instituted a shelter-in-place due to a student experiencing a medical emergency. The situation was handled promptly, and the student received the necessary care. The shelter-in-place was lifted at approximately 1:25 p.m.
We greatly appreciate the quick response from both students and staff, as well as their adherence to our safety procedures. Everyone did an excellent job.
Thank you,
BMC Administration
Get your outfits ready for tomorrow BMC! See the flyer for class colors to wear. See students and staff for BMC's second annual big apple crunch!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the PTSO Paint-n-Snack scheduled for Saturday, October 5th, 2024, has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We look forward to seeing you at our PTSO Halloween Read Aloud on October 24th!
The Big Apple Crunch takes place every year in the month of October. This is the second year BMC is participating in this state-wide event. All together on Friday morning our students will take a bite out of an apple grown in NYS to celebrate our apple harvest and to inspire us to eat local. This event is brought to our district by the Farm to School committee.
Here are the many ways to purchase this year's yearbook.
Come & Paint with us!!
It's more than a meal application. Even when school meals are free for all, it is still important to submit a household income form to ensure that we can continue to provide this benefit and also help the district receive state funding. It's quick and confidential. Please complete the form on-line here- https://forms.gle/Ay32RUgo1Y3P1zJX7 . You may also find the paper form on-line on our website or you can request a form be mailed by calling 518-529-7342 x 7600. Only one form per family is needed. It is important for EVERY family to fill out this form.
