Bowling Green Middle School

B. Farris inspired students and staff at the middle school yesterday through his energetic and inspiring performance. He shared his personal story and emphasized #ICAN. His message encouraged us to overcome our fears and to remember that no matter what we are going through, we are never alone.

Along with wearing teal and purple, students may wear a hat to school for $1 to support BGMS PTO. There is a PTO meeting Thursday, Sept. 17th at 4:30 for any parent who would like to attend. Please come through the middle school office.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and the Bowling Green R-1 Student Services Department is asking our staff, students , and the community to help us shine a light on mental health, hope, and the importance of supporting one another.

On Thursday, September 17, we are encouraging everyone to wear teal or purple as a visible reminder that:

Your life matters.

You are important.

You are not alone.

Please consider participating by wearing teal or purple on September 17. We would love to see our entire district come together to show our support for mental health and suicide prevention.

Thank you for helping us create a school community where every student knows they are valued, supported, and important.
