About BVMS PTA

I am honored to serve as your BVMS PTA President for the 2024/2025 school year! Having attended Horace Mann and Beverly Hills High School, this community holds a special place in my heart. My husband, Gordon, and our two boys (5th Grade at HM and 8th Grade at BVMS) are equally enthusiastic about contributing to our school's success and growth.

Picture a school where all our kids excel in every way— academically, socially, and emotionally– regardless of their interests, backgrounds, or ability. We can make this happen! As a PTA, our goal is to strengthen BVMS by supporting cutting-edge education and helping our children grow and thrive. As we celebrate our 6th year as a middle school, I am excited to build on our positive momentum with two primary objectives: 1) enhancing student programs and 2) increasing parent involvement.

But, we can't do this alone! I firmly believe that strong parental involvement, open communication, and active collaboration with teachers, administrators, and the community create a nurturing environment for all our kids.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our dedicated teachers, administrators, and staff for their unwavering dedication to our students.

To our incredible PARENTS and GUARDIANS: THANK YOU for your continued support and involvement—it truly makes a difference. With your participation, financial support, and enthusiasm we can create a vibrant and supportive community for our kids. By contributing to our Annual Fund you can make this happen!

Lastly, I am fortunate to have a fantastic BVMS PTA Executive Board by my side. Together, we are planning many exciting events and programs to enrich the lives of our students.

As we kick off this school year with new leadership and fresh ideas, I’m filled with optimism and excitement for what lies ahead. Let’s go ALL IN for our children and community.

GO BULLDOGS!

Sincerely,

Sophia Rumanes
