The ‘Current and Upcoming Events’ Section has been updated and will continue to be updated with vital dates to know and remember. Keep checking to see what is new and happening!

PROM is this Saturday night, May 12th at BPS! Everyone is very excited for the glamor, the dancing and the fun. We hope to see many proud parents there, as we take a night to celebrate our graduates.

On April 20th , students participating in the 30 Hour Famine will be having a sleepover at BPS. While they will be enjoying many fun activities, the students will also be facing the hunger that many others worldwide have to endure every single day. This year, the BPS students voted to put the money raised towards providing clean drinking water to villages in Africa. REMINDER TO STUDENTS: THE MONEY YOU COLLECT MUST BE HANDED IN NO LATER THAN APRIL 18TH TO SECURE YOUR SPOT IN THIS EVENT.

Well, it was a GREAT week filled with lots of crazy costumes, exciting games, and wonderful participation on behalf of students and staff. However, one team began to dominate mid-week, and ultimately became the winners of this years carnival.
