We’re excited to kick off a new weekly series where our community can get to know the amazing people who make BMS such a special place—our administrators, teachers, and staff! Each week, we’ll highlight a different member (or team!) so you can see the heart behind the work they do every day.💜💛
✨We’re starting with our incredible Office Squad—Mrs. Rochat (Attendance Secretary), Mrs. Smith (Secretary/Registrar), and Mrs. Herrold (Secretary/Bookkeeper)!
💸When asked what they’d like parents and students to know about their roles, Mrs. Herrold shared, “Money may sound boring, but I try to make it as fun as possible and I stay busy!”
📝Mrs. Smith explained, “I help students enroll and also help with any needs throughout the day.”
🤝And Mrs. Rochat said her favorite part of the job is, “My office squad & how funny middle schoolers can be!”
We’re so thankful for this hardworking, joyful team that keeps our school running strong and always supports students, staff, and families with a smile!🐅💜
