Community at BFS

Spring FrolicAn engaged community

The BFS community is close-knit and engaged in the life of the school - many of our activities are made possible through the generous contribution of our families’ time, energy, and creativity. Volunteers play vital roles on committees for our major fundraising events (Glowga, Snowflake Festival, and the Auction) and help out with smaller fundraising events (Lasagna Dinner, Ghost Walk, and Book Fair) that fund specific projects and class trips. All members of the BFS community are asked to support the school’s Annual Fund to the best of their ability. 

PTAC (Parent, Teacher, Administration Committee) - our school-wide parent-teacher organization - maintains a positive and welcoming environment for all parents and works closely with the school in meeting its current needs.  The leadership of PTAC (the clerk(s) of PTAC, head of school, advancement director, one faculty representative, and each class parent) holds monthly meetings during the school year to discuss volunteer needs, special events and activities, and any issues that may arise. All parents are automatically members of PTAC.
