A Reading Oasis!
On Wednesday, Bushey Meads had another one of our regular DropEverythingAndR
We all appreciate the academic benefits of a healthy reading habit (something we promote in a range of ways here at BMS), but the power it has to calm the mind, refocus us and provide an oasis of peace should not be underestimated either.

Reading isn’t just for school though: pick up a book this weekend!
Happy Reading!
