February News from the Burlington County Alternative School
BCAS Named New Jersey School of Character
We are pleased to announce that the NJ Alliance for Social, Emotional and Character Development named the Burlington County Alternative School a 2017 New Jersey School of Character. BCAS will maintain this status for a period of three years, through 2019. In addition, BCAS will now be placed in a pool of eligible honorees for consideration in the National Schools of Character program recognition process. Dr. Nagy commented at the most recent Board of Education meeting: "This recognition reflects the culmination of hard work, perseverance and tenacity on the part of the administration, staff and students. BCAS embraces and integrates the principles of character that promote a healthy, respectful, engaging and embracing environment across all campus programs. As a School of Character, we recognize the individuality of each student while promoting the attainment of one's own maximum potential."
This award is a welcome addition for the BCAS campus, which was recently relocated to a brand new state of the art facility designed to accommodate 150 students to meet the explosive demand for the alternative school program, which services Burlington County districts and beyond. BCAS Principal, Joan Barbagiovanni, reacted to receiving this award: "Our staff and students have worked tirelessly to implement the Character.org Principles of Character Education. It is a well-deserved honor for staff and students to be recognized for cultivating a positive school culture and climate in which students learn, thrive, and grow. "
