Ben's Buzz
Dear BFCCPS Community,
Many thanks to all the teachers, students and staff for all the contributions, planning and organization that went into this year's absolutely amazing French Week! I'd like to especially thank Madame Malouf and Madame Canning for such a lovely celebration of French language and culture. If you haven't had a chance to peruse the photo gallery from the week, we invite you to view the collection
here.
 If you would like to subscribe additional members of your family to Ben's Buzz, you can do so by clicking here.
BFCCPS invites all students, faculty and staff to wear jeans on November 29th! Please bring in $ for our all school community service to support hurricane victims in Puerto Rico.
Wishing you all a happy and restful Thanksgiving Break and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
Mrs. Heather Zolnowski
Head of School
