We are off to a great start at BGM Elementary! 🤩 So happy to welcome our new families! 🐻 We felt so supported and loved by our community with free coffee at Center Ground ☕️(sponsored by Brooklyn Community Estates and BCKC), having the Bloom truck available for our staff during lunch and after school 🫐🍓🍌, and donuts in the lounge from First Bank 🥯! Thank you so much! ❤️ The new playground equipment and shade was a big hit with the students at recess!
Take a look at all the fun and smiles from the first day of school! 😃🥰
Looking forward to another great year at BGM Elementary! Thank you for all of you patience, support and understanding! ☺️

✨ Welcome to the BGM Elementary Office, Ms. Traci! 🐻

We are so excited to welcome Ms. Traci Williams to her new role as our BGM Elementary Secretary! 🥳 Many of you already know her from her years working in our Preschool room, and we are thrilled to have her bring her kindness, caring personality, and love for kids to the elementary office. 🥰

She is doing a fantastic job learning all things office-related... and she has had the BEST trainer to help her along the way! Thank you, Ms. Denise, for sharing your knowledge and helping Traci get settled into her new role. 👏 (And we hope you are enjoying your retirement!) ☺

We know our BGM students and families will give Ms. Traci a warm welcome as she begins this new adventure. We are so lucky to have her on our team, and we can't wait for a fantastic 2026-27 school year! 📚🍎

We’re so glad you’re here! ❤️🐻💙
