A Visit from Bishop Zarama
What a blessed day we experience during Bishop Zarama's visit to BSS last Friday. First, he celebrated Mass with the entire school and learn just how loud we can say, "Good Morning!" Our student council presented him with a check for $2,000 that our school community raised (along with a generous matching contribution) for the Annunciation School in Havelock, NC; a great example of "students helping students". He visited ALL the classes and then ended the day with a special lunch with the faculty. We have a special man shepherding our diocese.

Dear BSS Community,
We had a great visit with our Bishop Zarama last Friday. He visited with the students and they had many questions for him. The best was when he sat on the rug with the Preschool 3 and listened to them sing the “shark song.” We are very blessed to have Bishop Zarama as our Bishop of Raleigh.
Oktoberfest
Looking forward to another wonderful Oktoberfest this Friday, 10/26. Hope to see you on Friday.
