REMINDER: Friday, June 19th is a non-school day to observe the Juneteenth holiday.
We want to take a moment to recognize and celebrate Ethan Patterson, our incredible student school board liaison!
Ethan has been nothing short of exceptional these past two years! He did an outstanding job ensuring that the student voice wasn't just heard, but truly included and valued in School Board decisions. His dedication, insight, and leadership have left a lasting impact on our school community.
The Board Legacy Tradition
As is our proud tradition, we ask each outgoing school board member to choose a book to be placed in a BSD library in their honor.
Ethan has chosen Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson—a powerful testament to justice, empathy, and advocacy.
Thank you, Ethan, for your service, your passion, and your brilliant leadership. We look forward to seeing how you will undoubtedly change the world for the good!

You are invited to a community-wide summer book club!
Parenting in the digital age can raise a lot of questions. Ever think to yourself: How much screen time is too much? When should my child get a phone? How can I as a parent help my child build healthy habits with technology?
If so, you may want to consider reading 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World written by Jean Twenge. As a psychologist and researcher in child development, technology and mental health, Dr. Twenge tackles the questions many parents are asking today. This book offers ten practical, evidence-based rules to help families navigate smartphones, social media and screen time.
