Are you ready for some football???
The excitement level is high at BPS today! Principal Craig Campbell welcomed a surprise guest this morning when Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid stopped in on his way to Las Vegas. He took time to discuss Xs and Os with Mr. Campbell and Taylor Swift Jr. Then he took some time to meet with some fans in the hall.
