The Wizard of OZ
Sunday November 22 at 2pm  


Cost:  $10 per person (child or adult)

Entrenched in America's cultural psyche for more than three-quarters of a century, MGM's classic fairytale of jewel-toned fantasy lands and homes rediscovered resulted from a nearly disastrous production and barely broke even upon its initial release, but soon became one of the most-watched films in movie history. And with its breathtaking feats of Technicolor and a star-making performance by Judy Garland (not to mention the adorable antics of Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, and Bert Lahr), it's easy to see why.

General PA Meeting
Dec. 7th, 7pm
181 Lincoln Place Cafeteria

Mix and Mingle with the Board of Trustees

Ever wondered what is involved in becoming and serving as a board member?

Wish you knew what plans were in the works for the newly acquired building on Carroll Street?

Want to understand the teacher hiring process better? Curious about the college prospects of BC's seniors?

Come to our next General PA Meeting, where you can find out everything you ever wanted to know about the goings-on at BC but were afraid to ask!

In addition to a mix and mingle wine and cheese portion of the evening, we will hear from Board President Lydia Denworth and the Board will take questions from the audience. A question box will also be available for dropping in questions you may feel too shy to ask yourself.

A private school education is an investment, so don't miss your chance to have your questions about that investment answered.

Babysitting will be available; please email Sarie Culkins at sariebc@yahoo.com to reserve your spot.
