You are Invited to Get Involved


There are many ways to engage in our school community


School budgets continue to be under extreme pressure. Over the past two years, BCS has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the loss of our Title I Federal school-wide funding and the continual ask for schools to do more with less.

We ask families to give what they can because we understand everyone has different budgets. Any amount is welcome. Donations are accepted through PayPal, Check, or Cash.

PayPal also offers a monthly option, allowing you to give smaller amounts over the school year, rather than one large sum.

Double your impact! Check to see if your employer has a matching gift program.

We are grateful for each family’s contribution!
