BMS Parents,
Thanks to our wonderful maintenance staff our playground has been groomed and received some much needed mulch! We do want to let everyone know this brand new mulch is black dyed to match our old mulch....it will take a little time for the new to wear off. We just wanted to make you aware so you can dress your child appropriately for playing on the playground. For example, brand new white shoes might not be a good idea for the next few days!
