To be selected as 1^st chair is a great honor and shows hard work and dedication.

BBMS Memory Garden Celebration!

Thursday, May 29, 2009, BBMS celebrated the opening of a special area outside the school's cafeteria. Groups of students, teachers,  parents, & school administration met to dedicate a "Memory Garden" as a place to remember special people who spent time at Barbara Bush Middle School. Engraved bricks were laid into the patio area in honor of those who were an integral part of our school but are no longer with us. The choir, band & orchestra performed, and Mr. Warren Scott & Sunny Shankar remembered several special people with moving speeches. Cindy Santascoy & Angie Drake, our PTA president & vice-president, officially accepted the renovations as the "Friends of Barbara Bush Memory Garden." Dr. Barry Dodson, the first principal at BBMS, & Neal Schirato, father of former coach Chad Schirato, performed the ribbon cutting ceremony. The Memory Garden is now officially open for enjoyment!
