Blaine Middle School

Happy New Year! School resumes on a regular schedule on Thursday, January 3rd.

Have a great Winter Break! School resumes on January 3, 2019.

BMS Make a Change update: Our students/Parents/Businesses/Supporters have raised $1569 dollars for the Blaine FoodBank. This will be used to purchase food for Blaine families in need of a jumpstart. Thank you EVERYONE for helping us reach OUR goal on this community project. If you would still like to support Blaine, the FoodBank is a great place to start.

BMS Parents/Guardians: “Make a Change” Last day is tomorrow! We are awfully close to our goal of 1500 dollars. If you know someone or some business who is considering a donation for the 2018 year; please consider the Blaine Food Bank through BMS. The food bank gives soo much to this community and the students of Blaine School District.

Make a Change: wow Blaine and Birch Bay...our second collection day produced another 700 dollars! That brings our total to 1200 dollars. Thank you everyone for your contributions. A special thank you to the local businesses that have donated back to our community. Let’s try to blow our goal of 1500 dollars out of the water.

Winter Ride Registration will run through December 14. The program goes up to Mt. Baker every Saturday in January and February. Go to https://www.blainesd.org/winter-ride or text Julie (360) 303-8535 for more info. Lessons are filling up quickly and are anticipated to be full next week. Please sign up ASAP if interested. First time riders are required to take lessons for safety reasons.

ASB Report: We counted just over 500 dollars in donations for the Blaine Food Bank. We still have a long ways to go. Thank you to all the students, families, and local businesses that have donated! As a reminder: this 500 dollars will purchase nearly 15000 pounds of food.

Our ASB will be doing the first classroom count today at 9 am for our Make a Change drive. Every little bit counts!

Just a reminder about our “Make a Change” community drive. If you have “extra” please send it with your student or drop it off in the office. We hope to give a boost to Blaine families in need. Remember 1500 dollars is an ambitious goal but doable with your help. If we achieve that goal we can bring in nearly 45000 pounds of food! Let’s get this done. Go BMS!!!!

Blaine Middle School has started its annual "Make a Change" drive to support our local Blaine Food Bank. Please consider supporting our ambitious goal of raising 1500 dollars for the community of Blaine. Canadian currency and checks will also be accepted this year.
