Lynn Bauer had a lovely surprise from her daughters Lauren and Victoria this morning. The girls brought flowers to their mother for her last day of instruction at BIS. Mrs. Bauer will be retiring after 39 years of teaching elementary education for BCS. (And yes, she might have gotten a little bit emotional...) Thank you for everything, Mrs. Bauer #BruinProud
