From the Desk of the Principal
Thank you to all who came out to dedicate our new Courtyard. This is truly a showing of what our community can do when we all come together for a common cause. A huge thank you to all who donated to our raise the paddle at last years Under the Big Top Gala, your generosity has transformed our school for the better.
Today is the deadline for signing up for our annual golf tournament. This tournament goes a long way towards supplementing our yearly financial aid budget. If you can take a day off for this fun filled event please do, if my golf game is any indication there is no experience necessary! Again, the funds raised at this event really help us make the BSS experience a possibility for all families.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and takes in all of the great weather we have been blessed with this fall. Everyone is getting in the swing of things here at BSS, even the parking lot seems to be moving in the right direction! Go Pats, and the Bruins start next week, gotta love the fall in New England!
Blessings,
Dustin

From the Desk of Melissa Dugas - Advancement
Our annual Golf Tournament is only one week away! This is our 7th year hosting this event and we are excited to have over 95 golfers joining us for the day. There is still time to register if you would like to play.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Color Fun Run last week. I think it is safe to say that everyone had a great time. I know I did! Hopefully the color is long gone from everyone's hair but the memories of the fun is still there. We raised close to $7,000 for our school.
I hope to have some auction updates to you over the next week or two...so stay tuned!
Golf Tournament

From Coach Petrosky's Gym
My name is Coach P and I am the new Physical Education Instructor at BSS. The year is off to a great start and I am looking forward to keeping your children moving throughout the school year. Thank you all for the warm welcome I have received thus far!
In October I will be introducing the SUPER Sneaker Award. The award will recognize students for their accomplishments in gym class.
Each month one student from each grade, PreSchool through 8th Grade, will be honored for their SUPER gym performance. The recipients will be presented with an award certificate they can take home and their names will be posted on signage hanging from my office door in the gym. A student can be presented with the award once during their time at BSS.
The students receiving the award will showcase the following in gym class:
S = Sportsmanship (Be a team player. Play fair and by the rules. Be a good sport, both a gracious winner and loser.)
U = Unbelievable listening (Keep focus and listen to direction.)
P = Positivity (Be a role model with a positive attitude. Be supportive to others.)
E = Effort (Participate and give 100%.)
R = Respect (Yourself, others and Coach P. Treat others as you would like to be treated.)
Here's to keeping active and staying healthy!
Thanks!
Coach P
