Dear Parents,
Two down, two to go!
The Second Quarter ended today. Teachers are working today to finish grading and recording the work and will be preparing report cards next week.
We finished the quarter with our second pizza sale to raise money for the eighth grade and help offset the end of year costs for the class. This time, things went much more smoothly and we want to thank the 8th grade room parents and the 8th grade advisors for pitching in and helping get all of the pizza delivered. We also want to thank everyone who participated by buying a slice (or two or three) to help support this fundraiser.
Monday we hit the ground running for the third quarter and we’ll be gearing up for Catholic Schools Week which begins the following week.
Enjoy your weekend, we are looking forward to the second half of the school year!

It was an incredible weekend for the BS teams participating in two prominent MLK day basketball tournaments! We are especially proud of our 5/6th grade boys A team for not only taking second place in the Georgetown Prep tournament, but more importantly being chosen to receive the Sportsmanship Award out of 40 teams participating in the tournament. Such an honor! You made BS proud. To our 7/8th grade boys A team, congrats on making it to the tournament semifinals.
On the girls front, congratulations to our 7/8th grade Girls A team for winning the Holy Child tournament and taking home the tournament championship trophy.
We are excited to have the trophies brought home to our trophy display in our foyer.
Congratulations to the many other BS teams that were victorious this past weekend.
