Input for School Photo Vendor Selection
Help Needed - School photo vendor selection
The Council of Chelmsford Schools is starting the process of evaluating new proposals for school photo vendors and the council would like to have a representative from each school. The involvement would be attending 2-3 zoom meetings to review proposals and make a nomination to the council. If you would like to be a representative for Byam please contact BSA.Chelmsford@gmail.com. Your input is important!
BSA Meeting Next Wednesday Jan 27th
The BSA will be meeting next Wednesday night at 7PM via zoom. We encourage you to join and come learn about all the things happening at Byam. We would love new members to attend to start learning all about the BSA. There will be elections happening at the end of the year and we would like to encourage new participation as many of our current board members will be entering their last year associated with Byam in the fall!
