A huge thank you to Clearwater Jazz Education Outreach for visiting BCS and sharing the rich history, culture, and sound of jazz with our students. Students learned about jazz legends who helped shape the genre and discovered just how much their influence can still be heard in the music we listen to today. We also loved the reminder that music is so much more than notes and rhythms. It is a way to express creativity, tell stories, bring people together, and use our gifts to worship and glorify God. What a fun way to experience music, history, and culture coming together right here on our campus! Thank you, Clearwater Jazz Education Outreach, for sharing your talents and love of music with us! 🎺🥁🎷

Double the gift. Double the impact. 🤍 We have been incredibly blessed by a BCS family who has offered to match every gift to the BCS Annual Fund dollar for dollar, up to $20,000! With this extraordinary act of generosity, we are extending this year’s Annual Fund campaign to meet this match, and this unexpected gift gives our Faith Warrior family an incredible opportunity to help us exceed our goal. Every gift, no matter the amount, will now have twice the impact for our students, our school, and our mission. Help us unlock the full $20,000 match and reach our Annual Fund goal! Visit the link in our bio to donate today and make your impact go twice as far!

The competition was on at our STEAM Olympics! 🏅 After competing in their classrooms, the top finishers advanced to represent their classes and compete against one another for the grade-level title! We are so proud of all of our students for the creativity, problem solving, and hard work they showed throughout the competition. It was such a fun way to bring learning to life and celebrate our Faith Warriors!

One of the sweetest BCS traditions. 🤍 Our Buddy Program pairs our younger Faith Warriors with older students, giving them the opportunity to build relationships, worship together, and create connections that can last for years. More than eight years ago, one of our current seniors was a 5th grader when she was paired with a K2 buddy. Today, that 5th grader is a senior, her K2 buddy is now in 4th grade, and they are still buddies! What a blessing it is to watch our students truly grow up together. From chapel days and little moments to relationships that span nearly an entire school journey, the Buddy Program is such a special picture of the community we are blessed to have at BCS.
