Our Buddy Program is one of our most beloved and favorite traditions and reflects the family atmosphere here at BCS. |

Beyond the Classroom Walls |
|
Our Middle and Upper Division students went off campus to learn outside of the classroom. Several of these trips took place during our annual SET (Service, Enrichment, and Travel) Week. As our alumni know, these trips are often the most memorable and cherished moments when reflecting on time at Bayshore! |
|
The Annual Upper Division Retreat at Lake Aurora Christian Camp was September 1 and 2. |
|
Upper Division students
spent time swimming and
playing sports on the
beautiful camp grounds.
|
|
Most importantly, they grew in their own personal walk with God and as an
Upper Division family.
|
|

Sixth and seventh grade students traveled to Nature's Classroom Institute in Palm Harbor, Florida! |

|
|
The Upper Division Mission Team flew to Indianapolis to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus for six days. Many of our students got to see snow for the first time, as over three inches fell the morning they arrived! |
|
These 20 students handed out Bible care packages, worked at Gleaners Food Bank (filling 126 grocery orders and serving 746 households in the drive through food pantry), and helped organize the food pantry and thrift store at
Third Phase Christian Center.
|
|
In addition, they experienced the Ark Encounter, led nightly devotions, went to a citywide church youth night, attended church, and passed out notes of encouragement to community members. |
|
The Faith Warrior Family went above and beyond! Our nine-week Annual Fund 2022 campaign was a huge success, and we raised $78,800 ($3,800 over our goal)! With this money, BCS was able to enclose the campus area on MacDill Avenue, purchase new security cameras, and continue to make needed improvements to the campus. |
|
|
BCS friends and supporters helped our students garner over $25,000 ($5,000 over our goal) in donations for our Turkey Trot Fun Run! Donations came from the states highlighted in the picture and are going towards our STEAM initiative!
