The BMMS TSA team returned from the 2012 TSA National Conference (held in Nashville, TN) this past Monday evening
with a number of awards, as listed below.   As you can see, BMMS returned with
two (2) 1st place awards, one (1) 2nd place award and five (5) additional top 10
awards - Outstanding!

To the students - GREAT JOB and CONGRATULATIONS on a job well done!!  You should all be commended on your work, your efforts and your dedication to learning new skills and reaching new heights with your accomplishments.  
 
Thank you to the sponsors who have generously donated so the teams could
participate.  This success would not have been realized without your assistance
and support of the program.  We very much appreciate your involvement in our
efforts to prepare the students for the future workforce.  Thank you!
 
Thank you also to the parents who have allowed and encouraged their students to
participate in these competitive events (and so many others throughout the
year) and to those parents who have so willingly volunteered your time in
fundraising efforts, competition preparation and any number of other ways you
have helped so much.  Thank You!
