Dear BIS Families,

It’s been another vibrant, busy week here at BIS!

A huge thank you to our wonderful PTO, parents, and staff for bringing Fall Fest to life. The students had an absolute blast getting creative with pumpkin decorating, turning into mummies, and brewing up their own "potions." It was a fantastic event for our entire school community!

For those heading out trick-or-treating this weekend, we wish you a fun, happy, and safe Halloween!

Thank you,
 
Joseph Santavenere
