The performances are completely optional, and part of the fun is not knowing who you will be performing with! Students are welcome to join in at any time.

Memorial Day Celebration
From there, students in grades 3-5 will join the veterans in the cafetorium for the singing of patriotic songs, a question & answer session, and the presentation of a special gift.
It is sure to be a wonderful day for our BAC students and Veterans alike.
Kindergarten Round Up:
Just a reminder to parents of our incoming Kindergarten students... if you have registered your child for kindergarten, we will be holding our Kindergarten Roundup on Monday & Tuesday, June 6th & 7th. You should have received an email from Mrs. Keiser with a sign-up genius link where you can sign up for your date and time to attend the roundup. The roundup will last approximately an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. During their time here, students will participate in a variety of activities which will help us to learn more about them as students and individuals.
While the students are off having fun, the parents will be meeting with Mrs. Keiser, Mr. Perruso, Mrs. McCool, and Nurse Ewer so that we can provide you with an overview of the district's Kindergarten program, as well as additional information you may need as your child embarks on his/her journey into education! We are looking forward to seeing you.
