The Annual Freedom Tournament is almost here and our 4th Graders need your help to make it a success!

This year, the 4th grade class proudly chose to support Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation, an organization that supports the loved ones of fallen first responders. 💙

If you’re planning to join us for a fun-filled night of Freedom, community, and good cause on Mar. 5 (5:30–8:00 pm at the BCMS Gym), please consider signing up for a volunteer shift. Even a short time makes a big difference!
