It BEARS Repeating! Sept 1, 2026
BASD - Home of the Bears
On Friday, September 25th, BASD will host a district-wide GOLD OUT. All students and staff are invited to wear GOLD and form "instant human GOLD ribbons" thereby raising Childhood Cancer Awareness among one another and throughout our community.
Our GOLD OUT will carryover to the evening's home football game hosted by BASH Student Council. Our families and community members are asked to wear their GOLDen best as we take on Spring-Ford High School. Members of the StuCo will be on hand to fundraise in support of childhood cancer research throughout the game.
We hope to see you there!
