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.

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.
Open house at North Franklin Educational Center.
If you haven't already, please complete the Household Eligibility Form. You may complete the on-line form 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 because doing so helps bring much-needed additional money and services directly to our school! It also determines if your child will qualify for other benefits such as reduced fees for SAT and ACT tests, reduced college applications fees as well as other potential non-school related benefits such as summer EBT benefits.

The story on our storywalk trail this week honors the memory of 23 years ago today. Our 9/11 story, 30,000 Stitches tells the story of the flag that was hung above the towers and was severely damaged. This flag travelled the country being repaired by communities facing their own tragedies before returning to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in NYC. This beautiful story will be on the trail until this Friday.
The 2024-2025 Open House will be on Thursday, September 12, 2024, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. for Grades 1-12.
