Bonjour BP families.
I'd like to thank all community members, students, teachers, and families who were able to join us last Thursday for our spring Band Concert and Fine Arts night. We had a full house and were able to enjoy some beautiful artwork from Ms. Stunell's students alongside some terrific live music courtesy of Mr. Mikalson and his grade 7-9 bands. It is quite spectacular to see how our students have grown in their abilities since September- much to be celebrated! This week also we look forward to many of our student athletes participating at the Track and Field event this Friday. Go Panthers!
