Dear BSS Community,
Today, Mrs. Avery celebrated her last “Earl of Sandwich Day” at BSS. The students were excited as they created their own sandwiches. Some were very unique- bologna with peanut butter and jelly and the tasty pepperoni with peanut butter. Our visiting author, Alan St. Jean, has a new taste experience-pimento cheese. Always great sandwiches and memories on Earl of Sandwich Day!
