A Day in the Life of BFS - our first ever “Bring a Parent/Guardian to School Day” exceeded expectations with thanks to BFS’s “Oak trees,” our dedicated teachers, our engaged and talented students, our connected community and supportive families, and our Director of Admissions, Melissa Clayton. Mission in action, growing smart, original, and good people, modeling community and how to show up for children and one another.
