Next Week Artist in Residence!

Byam Artist Artist in Residence Bren Bataclan March 13th -17th

On Monday March 13th all kindergarten through fourth grade students will be attending an assembly to hear Boston based artist Bren Bataclan inspire our Byam community on the power of kindness. Bren takes students on a journey around the globe, demonstrating how a smile is universally understood and appreciated. During the drawing demo, Bren explains how easy it is to draw his characters and that there is no right or wrong way to illustrate them. Bren will then be at Byam all week long working on a Byam student inspired canvas mural for our school. Students will have the opportunity to see the finished product Friday March 17th.

You can find more information on Bren's projects and acts of kindness by visiting http://www.bataclan.com/

GET INVOLVED WITH THE BSA!

We are humbly asking parents to consider volunteering for one small task each year. If your child is attending an event, please keep an eye out for future sign-up forms. Many responsible students can also help with parent supervision! In addition to event volunteers, here are a few larger roles we are looking to fill. We will teach you the ropes and "ease" you in. If any of these interest you, email bsa.chelmsford@gmail.com!

~Sincerely, your BSA Board
