Thank you to all who attended our March PTO Meeting - our first in-person PTO meeting in two years! It was wonderful to see all your faces again. If you could not make it, you can get caught up on what you missed by downloading the meeting minutes from below. Our most recent meeting minutes can also always be found here (make sure to bookmark this page). Just click on "Forms and Documents" from the menu on the left.

Please also mark your calendar for our next PTO meeting which will be held on May 11th at 7 pm in the BGS library. This will be an in-person meeting with no live streaming option available. Assuming our district COVID rules don't change, this meeting will be mask optional. We will be celebrating our Teacher of the Year and Educational Services Professional of the Year at this meeting.
