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 Calkins at sariebc@yahoo.com to reserve your spot.
 
Safe Sitter® is back at Berkeley Carroll
2 Day Course

712 Carroll Street, Investigations Room
Cost: $50
Required Age (11-14) 
 
After a brief hiatus, we are excited to announce that we are once again running the Safe Sitter® course this winter.

This is a course that teaches young teens (11-14) everything they need to know to be safe when they're home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. Students learn life-saving skills, such as how to rescue someone who's choking, and helpful information, like what to do if there's severe weather. The lessons are filled with fun activities and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use CPR manikins to practice CPR or choking rescue.

Registration is capped at 20 students - so don't delay signing up!
