Congratulations to the BOA parents and students for having the most participation numbers in the district's last public safety meeting for September. Participating students won the right to not wear their school uniform for a day. Students were excited to be out of uniform and parents learned a lot about personal safety. The next participation challenge starts in October: Family Fitness Nights (Tuesdays: 10/14, 10/21, 10/28). At Calumet Middle School from 5:30 - 7pm).

The Cancer Walk was a huge success! Students, parents, and staff were united in walking for a purpose. Walkers were excited to display their signs and enjoy the beautiful day. Way to go Bull Dogs!
