Congratulations to the BIS Character Ed winners for February and March! These students were honored by Principal Jim Fox during last night's School Board meeting. Taking a moment to pose with their proud parents following the meeting are: Carter Hunt, Trinity McLaughlin, and Lilly Ervin! (Dray Bilbrey was unable to attend.)
Way to go, Bruins!
We are celebrating!

Students in Mrs. Katie Barnes' 1st grade class at BPS have been learning about bats all week!
She explains, "Today we transformed our classroom and spent the day in a bat cave. We wrote about our favorite bat facts, practiced using our sense of smell to find others just like a bat and did a bat craft! We have had so much fun!!"
