BSS Weekly Update
November 25th thru November 29th
From the Desk of the Principal
What a great season to be at BSS! The Thanksgiving Feast on Wednesday was delicious, thank you to Chef Daniella and her amazing staff! Now we get to look forward to two great performances from our BSS Players this weekend!
As we move into our holiday of thankfulness, I just want to take a moment to thank the entire BSS community for all you do to make our school the amazing place it is. The partnership of parents, teachers, administrators, and students that is fostered here every day truly makes the BSS experience something that cannot be replicated. On a personal note please know that Meg, Declan, and I are always thankful for how our family has been welcomed here over the past year and a half.
On behalf of our school I wish you all a restful and reflective Thanksgiving holiday. Once we come back it will be the most wonderful time of the year to be at BSS...though i'm sure when Christmas break arrives everyone will be ready for it!
Blessings,
Dustin
