Hello!
Happy August! We hope you’ve had an amazing summer packed with fun, sun, and plenty of time to relax with family and friends.
While you were soaking up the summer vibes, we’ve been hard at work here at BCS getting everything ready for an incredible school year! Classrooms have moved, facilities are updated, and our incredible custodian, Kevin Moore, worked absolute magic—the school is looking sparkling clean and beautiful.
This year is extra special as we finally bring our communities together. It’s been a long journey to reach this milestone, and we can’t wait to kick off this new chapter as one vibrant community of learners!
Here’s a quick snapshot of what you’ll find in this newsletter to help everyone hit the ground running:
