Dear BMS Community,
This morning, our building lost power due to an Appalachian Power issue. Additionally, the fire alarm went off at our building. Out of an abundance of caution, our building was evacuated while the Blacksburg Fire Department investigated the cause of the alarm.
At this time, the building has been cleared and all students are safe and back inside. The school day is continuing. We are still without power. AEP is working diligently to fix this issue.
We will provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Erin Bond
Assistant Principal
