The BMS S.W.A.T. Team

We currently are sponsoring 4 crews of students on the S.W.A.T. team.  We meet on Wednesday and Friday during AA.  The Team sponsor is Mrs. Frenzel.

1. System Maintenance Crew- these students will rotate through the classrooms and the computers labs doing general system maintenance chores such as disk clean up, virus update, spyware removal.

2. The Mobile Maintenance Crew - these students are responsible for the sign in cards in all the labs, the hallway bulletin board, cleaning the labs, and other general maintenance issues.

3. Computer Buddies - these students act as peer tutors for other students. They work one-on-one with students using software programs available at BMS.

4. Around BMS - these students are responsible for the creation of the Channel 7 announcements.  They create PowerPoint presentations that include daily lunch menus, birthdays, game schedules and other information. This plays continually on Channel 7 around the building.
