Did you know that B-UMS has a food pantry? It is our goal to do our part and support the B-UMS family. You can help us achieve that goal by participating in the food drive.

Every item brought in counts. For example, if you bring in a six pack of popcorn, that adds up to SIX items!
The homeroom with the most items collected will receive an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT!
The winning homeroom will be awarded a work free class period, giving the teacher a break. Students will enjoy fun activities with the counselors!
