We are so excited to annouce that Oktoberfest will return this year! The Knights of Columbus will be here selling their famous beer, brats and hot dogs! There will be games and activities for kids and plenty of socializing for the adults. We will also have a Pumpkin Carving Contest with a trophy prize! Sign-up to participate here!
Our 8th grade students won't have their traditional Haunted Hall, but are working on plans for a Spooky Car/Tent Wars that will take place in separate area of the lawn.
The bake sale is always a crowd favorite! Sign-up to send in goodies here!
We'll need a lot of volunteers to make this event a success! If you can help, sign-up here! Feel free to share with any high school students you know that need service hours.
We can't wait to bring this tradition back to BSS!

Now that our school year is in full swing, we’d like to present Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities for 2021-2022. We'd love to help promote your business, while you support our school!
In addition to keeping our tuition as low as possible, donations during the 2020-2021 school year allowed us to do the following:
- All students in Kindergarten through 8th grade now have a Chromebook.
- Most staff received a new laptop.
- New charging carts for the Chromebooks were purchased.
- A new Makerspace was created for all students to use.
- Six water bottle refill stations were purchased.
- A dishwasher was purchased for the Middle School Science Lab.
- Several classroom heat/air systems were replaced.
Those are just a few of the things we were able to do to improve our school over the last year! With future donations, we hope to continue to build and expand the Makerspace, create an Elementary Library and so much more! Once you've had the opportunity to review these options, please feel free to call or email me to discuss!
Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Halloween Parties!
Halloween Parties will be on Friday, October 29th! Little Knights will celebrate right after the Halloween Parade. All other classes will have their parties at 2:00. This year, I have requested that we have the parties on the back lawn instead of in the classrooms. This will allow for parents to join us for the celebrations! In order for this to happen, we will need to assemble party bags or boxes for each student. Then they can easily carry their party food outside! I am able to help teachers do this, but all items will need to be sent in on 10/27 to give me enough time.
I have created a party sign up for each class. They are all the same, but I did customize each one to include class size and food allergies. These links will be in the Knight Chronicle, but feel free to share with your classes!
Find your class party sign-up HERE!

Support BSS Retail Cards Sales! |
|
What are Retail Cards? Retail cards are store certificates (plastic cards) that our school purchases at a discount and sells to you at face value for a school profit. The discount given is different with each vendor. BSS has used the profit money in the past for school technology and current needs of the school.
Why should you buy Retail Cards with BSS?
The profits from this program make up an important part of our fundraising budget. It is an easy and great way to help BSS earn fundraising dollars and not spend an extra dime. Everyone buys groceries and gas, and may occasionally eat out. Before your next trip to the gas station, grocery store, or restaurant, please consider purchasing Retail Cards with us.
Where can I buy these Retail Cards?
You may purchase the Retail Cards in the school office any day during school hours. CLICK HERE to access the order form. |
|
Please make check payable to BSS HSA Scrip. Returned check fee is $35.
Thank you for participating in our school fundraiser.
