Dear BSS Community,
This week we received this message from our superintendent Dr. Fedewa:
We have a lot of schools and parishes that have been dramatically impacted by the hurricane. Many had to evacuate and there is significant facility damage. Many of you have asked if there is anything that you can do. At this point, it is too early to provide you with anything specific. However, once we get an idea of the magnitude of the problem, we will let you know. Please pray for our parishes, schools, and communities that are going through this.
I will keep you updated so BSS can begin a donation drive to help those communities.
Mrs. Gomez
Iowa Practice Tests

I Will Survive 5K
