BCS has partnered with Arts Place to have a Latchkey Art Club. According to BPS Assistant Principal Sarah Price, "Students in Latchkey may participate free of charge. They spend an hour each month with the (amazing) instructor, Sydney Walter, art teacher at BJSHS. Thursday was our first session and students loved it!"

Our preschool students had big smiles today as their "teachers" were Child Development students from Mrs. Sasha Hudson's class at BJSHS. According to Mrs. Hudson, the high school students planned games and activities to do with their students and were pretty excited about the prospect of working with the preschoolers.
We appreciate the cooperation between staff and schools to make these lessons happen for our students. Great job, Bruins and Cubs!
