About the new BMS

I was a member of the first eighth grade class to attend B.C. Berg. I remember how exciting it was entering this brand new school with all the shiny floors, fancy bathrooms and enclosed courtyards with grass, trees and walkways that we were forbidden to access.

All built with architect of latest technology. I would like to add my two cents worth. Please, use some common sense and please do not hire contractors that are not trustworthy and go out of business within the next year. Don’t put in carpet in the entryways that have to be replaced within a year or two ... and don’t add extras for beautification like senseless courtyards.

Build a school like Maytag built its hotel ... old but still strong. Build one that will last longer than 50 years.
