School-Wide Color Wars Fundraiser
The Beverly Middle School Peer Leaders are planning a spirit day in order to raise money for a local cause. Thursday, February 11th & Friday, February 12th we will have a schoolwide GRADE COLOR WARS! Students can bring in $1 (or more!) to wear the color assigned to their grade. Anything goes - shirt, pants, or accessories! The more COLOR the better! All money raised will be donated to Family Promise in Beverly.
Family Promise North Shore Boston’s mission is to prevent and end family homelessness through a family-centered, community-based response. They aim to uphold each family's dignity and strength as they accompany families in preventing, navigating, or recovering from situations of homelessness, and to engage the local community as critical partners in this effort.
Our goal is to raise awareness for this local organization and raise as much money as possible to help support families in our community! The grade who raises the most money will win the GRADE COLOR WARS competition and our BMS principals will participate in an exciting surprise!
We hope many students will participate in this fun and friendly competition before heading off for February vacation!
Grade 5 - wear ORANGE
Grade 6 - wear GREEN
Grade 7 - wear RED
Grade 8 - wear BLUE
Please contact Mrs. Nichols (anichols@beverlyschools.org) with any questions.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
BMS 8th Grade Peer Leaders

Mass Support COVID-19 Coping Groups
Our guidance counselors would like to share information about a resource meant for adults.
Coping groups bring together people who are going or who have gone through similar life experiences. In MassSupport's new free and confidential COVID-19 online coping groups, discussions will focus on how to handle feelings of isolation and stress in a supportive space to enhance coping skills and foster a sense of connection. Groups will last about 90 minutes and participants do the vast majority of the talking. A brief educational component is included. While our trained, caring counselors and clinicians facilitate, these groups are not therapy. Coping groups are completely free, and you can sign up below for multiple groups.
Coping group for those feeling isolated
Coping group for those with children being schooled remotely
Coping group for COVID-19 survivors
Coping group for healthcare and mental health providers

Student Survey
We are surveying our students to find out more about what they like and what they feel like they need from us. Please ask your child if they have filled out the survey emailed to them by Mrs. Oliver recently. They can also follow this link but must be logged in with their bhsconnect.org email to complete it (so they would not be able to do it on your device, but you could email it or otherwise share it with them).
Dear BMS Students,We would like to hear your voice! At this time, we are about half way through the 2020-2021 school year. As your principal, I want you to know that I am listening for your voice and that each of you are contributors to our community. During a year that is anything but typical, it is more important than ever that I hear from you. I want to know what makes BMS a great place to be and also how we can improve.
My goal for you is to feel both physically and emotionally safe, while learning both academics and who you are becoming as a human. You are all amazing in your own unique way!
I look forward to reading your responses.
Best,
Mrs. Oliver
BMS Principal
