Our PTO is selling discount cards. Each child at BCES was given two cards to sell. Once you sell those, you can request more. All students that sell 4 cards will get to participate in a dance party. The top seller will get a $100 gift card, 2nd place a $50 gift card, and 3rd place a $25 gift card. The cards can be used for the entire year and only cost $10. I guarantee you can't lose money by buying a card if you eat in our local restaurants. Please support the fundraiser by buying cards for all your friends and family. Our PTO is committed to only doing one large fundraiser a year so that families are not burdened with having to sell items all year long. Profits will be used to support the PBIS program at BCES which rewards students for having good behavior. Thank you for your support!

Progress reports were sent home today with students.
