Principal's Message
Greetings Bruin Families,
It is wonderful to have everyone back on campus. We had a productive week. All students and staff received BC lanyards on Thursday of this week for their ID card. Everyone will be required to wear their ID card while on campus. Students can wear their ID card on the lanyard provided to them or any school appropriate lanyard or attach it with a belt loop clip. The ID card needs to be visible while we are on campus. If students lost their lanyard and want to purchase another, they can see Jamie in the Counseling Office to purchase a new one for $5.00. Please touch base with your student to make sure they have Their ID card and other school supplies ready for Monday.
Sincerely-
Mrs. Hummel

Spicy snacks such as Takis, Hot Cheetos or Spicy Nacho Doritos, can irritate the lining of your stomach if consumed in large amounts. Gastritis is a condition characterized by stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. If you already have GERD or IBS these foods can trigger your symptoms.
