					<description><![CDATA[I cannot recall how many times I have referenced and/or recommended Dr. Michael Thompson’s book, Homesick and Happy: How Time Away from Parents Can Help a Child Grow since it was published in 2012.  While a majority of the book focuses on the value of summer camp experiences, chapter one presents a series of things that Dr. Thompson believes we cannot provide for our children.  I believe this list is worth considering in the broader context of parenting and as we move forward during the school year together.]]></description>

The students explored topics such as hair and the importance it has within different cultures, eye color and the science of genes, gender stereotypes and how we can break away from them, and completed a project highlighting attributes that the students think are "the best" about themselves.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[WE DID IT! 240 gifts in 24 hours!

This tremendous effort and support means we not only secured the 5K challenge of $5,000.00, but, so inspired with this success, an additional 5K has been donated by our anonymous alum to honor the Faculty of BFS.

Together, we raised over $50,000!!!

Thank you to everyone who supported BFS and our teachers this Giving Day!]]></description>
