Ollie's job is helping them learn about the different places on the globe and represent Bessie Allen, The School District and the Village of North Fond du Lac around the world!

| STUDENTS LEAVE THEIR MARK! IN PROGRESS |
We want students to really feel BAMS is a special place to each of them and they have a personal investment in this building. To meet this goal - check out this idea!!
Every class has an 8 foot section on the main hallway where the graduation date is painted at the top. Then each student will put his or her hand print and write their name under it. The hand prints will stay on the wall until the class graduates - at which time it will be painted over and the incoming 6th grade will take that spot. In four years we will have a total of 7 classes on the wall!! This year we will hand print every class. After this year, only the incoming 6th grade will do this ritual. "Let your passion drive your learning!"
