BCEC and BCCI would like to wish our students and their families a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are so thankful that you chose to join the BCEC and BCCI community!
To promote gratitude within our schools, students created notes of thanks during CORE for their classmates, teachers, and support staff that were posted in the hall. Such a wonderful reminder of how much we appreciate each other!

WOW! 🤩🤩🤩Ms. Wallace's Heritage Spanish class did a great job celebrating Dia de los Muertos. While this year's celebration looks a little different from the past few years, it is beautiful and heartfelt. Students created an altar to pay tribute to loved ones and to what was lost in our area due to Hurricane Helene. Gorgeous work. #BCEC #changingpossibilities #publicschoolproud #WeareBCS #Togetherwerise
