In the classroom...

A big well done and thank you for class concerts

We just finished our class concerts and I would like to say how amazing and talented our BPPS students are! I thoroughly enjoyed the performances, and I know students did too. It's not easy going on stage to perform, but it was great to see how supportive and encouraging our BPPS students are, which really cultivalted a safe and enjoyable environment for students to get up on stage and give it a try.

Please enjoy some photos from the performances in week 7:
