Ben's Buzz
Dear BFCCPS Community,
Our Grade Eight Students presented their
Capstone Projects on Thursday January 25th and 26th. These students exhibited dedication and perseverance while researching, planning and executing their individual capstone projects over the past 15 months.
The poise, maturity and generosity that these young men and women showed was awe inspiring. We could not be more proud of the impact they have had on their local, national and global communities. Bravo 8th grade. You truly are amazing!
Congratulations to the Grade Eight students as well as their advisors and parents!
Enjoy the rest of your week,
Mrs. Heather Zolnowski
Head of School
