BSS Weekly

Dear Parents,

We were all disappointed that we couldn’t do our Field Day last Friday.

We had a nice last week here for our 8th graders. They finished with service projects in the morning and a final graduation rehearsal in the afternoon on Wednesday. Tomorrow, we look forward to celebrating their nine year journey at their graduation. Next Friday, we won’t say goodbye, but we will say congratulations to our Kindergartners.

It has been quite a year but we are proud of both of these classes: our oldest scholars and our youngest scholars. They have all demonstrated the grit that I have spoken about so glowingly among our students through the challenges of the past two years.

One of the requirements of taking federal money (like from the OSP scholars or some of the funds that we have gotten for COVID relief) is to report out to our parents on the ‘violent episodes’ in our school for the year. We have nothing to report. We have had no violent episodes. We have had three suspensions and no expulsions.

Please continue to pray for the families of the children in Uvalde. And please pray for the victims of the daily gun violence in our country. Ultimately, please continue to pray for a less violent world for our children (and for all of us).

Faithfully,

Chris Kelly
