As part of School Bus Safety Week, our elementary students had the opportunity to learn about bus safety with our drivers. It is important even for our students who do not regularly ride the bus to be aware of expectations and prepared in case of an emergency. The students came away with a pencil and a bookmark for being good listeners!

Ms. Laurenzi's English 11 Honors class has been studying The Great Gatsby. Throughout the unit, students researched various aspects of the 1920s; each group had a topic that they created a notes handout about and a visual representation to teach the class about their topic and discuss how The Great Gatsby relates to their subject. On Friday, they participated in a gallery walk, during which they walked around and learned about the 11 topics covered. Subjects ranged from sports to automobiles, fashion, women's rights, the Harlem Renaissance, and more. #BKP #SCCares #everyday

A day of missed school is a lost opportunity for social development. By coming to school every day they’re not sick, your child is gaining social skills that will land them their first job as an adult like time management, collaboration, and problem-solving. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
