Picture Retakes
Picture retakes - for those who do not like their child's school pictures and would prefer to retake them - are scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24. Please return the packet of pictures you originally ordered. You can get the same photo package or choose to upgrade.
Spirit Day
This year, we will have SpiritDay once a month. The next SpiritDay is Friday, Oct. 26. Students are allowed to wear a spirit wear T-shirt along with their uniform bottoms of choice.
Spirit wear includes the white BFA spirit T-shirts, new red Lightning Bolt logo T-shirts or last year's Field Day T-shirts. Students who choose not to wear spirit wear must still dress in their uniforms.
T-shirts can be purchased online through the BFA Store. Check out the new Lightning Bolt logo T-shirt here!
