Our school held an excellent dance last week for all BCS 2000 students, St. Gabriel's, and Landis. The dance ran from 8:15- 12:15 pm. on Friday, May 12''. The group that was running the music was Unique Sound. The students danced the night away to a variety of music. The SRC appreciates all the help from teachers and students last Friday.
The grades K-3 held a Mother's Day tea last week on Friday as well. There were a variety of parents, grandparents and relatives who showed up for this tea.
