"Growing Tomorrow's Leaders Today"
A Note from Principal Landgrave....
Next week BIA will be celebrating Lutheran Schools Week!
What is Lutheran Schools Week? Lutheran Schools Week provides us a time to celebrate the more than 180,000 students, who attend one of the 1,914 Lutheran preschools, elementary schools and high schools.
We are most grateful for the opportunity to share Jesus’ amazing love with our students, their families, and within the communities we serve. Our schools are amazing incubators for faithful witness of God’s love for us through Christ, by teachers and students alike.
We thank you for choosing a Lutheran education for your child...now, let's celebrate! Each day next week will have a different theme, all centered around everyone's favorite...Dr. Seuss! Be sure to check out the image below so you know what we are celebrating on which day.
“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” - Dr. Seuss

Did You Know?
Did you know that the first book Dr. Seuss ever wrote was rejected by 27 publishers? Ted Geisel, Dr. Seuss' real name, never gave up! His life and works have gone on to inspire perseverance, kindness, inclusion, leadership, stewardship, and other values.
Don't let their size fool you, Mrs. Stoeckicht's little detectives have quite the keen eye for finding rhyming words. Great word hunting everyone!
Bobcat Read-A-Thon is in it's final days!
