Can you help the library?
Over Veteran’s Day weekend, some water pipes burst on the second floor at BC. The water leaked through the ceiling and ruined about 110 library books. Fortunately, the damage could have been much worse. Unfortunately,
the damage was not enough above the deductible to submit an insurance claim. Before we cut into library or building budgets, I was wondering if anyone had any of these titles at home that they might be willing to donate to
our library?

PTA Reflections Update This year we received 124 entries! Although each piece was inspiring, we are only able to move a small fraction of the pieces to the District Level for further competition. Our students did a magnificent job of expressing the theme ,“The Magic of a Moment”, in their pieces. Each and every contributor should be proud of their efforts. Reflections Chairs: Angie Hancock Pezzee & Marie Koole
