Ben's Buzz:
November 19, 2015
The photo above is a group of 8th grade students who choreographed and performed their own rendition of the Can Can during one of our many French Week Activities. Thank you to the parents, students, faculty and staff that helped to support a week of celebrating French history, culture and language!
The BFCCPS Community has worked together for the last five years to support the Santa Foundation. This organization hopes to make the holidays a little brighter for for families in need by giving gifts with anonymity. We are excited to kick off this year's campaign where we will provide gifts for seventeen families in our area.
You will hear more about your classroom's involvement from your Room Parents over the next few days; wrapped gifts will be due by December 10th. We thank you in advance for anything you can do to help.
