๐Ÿ“š Join Us for Our Summer Bison Community Council Meeting! ๐ŸŽ

As another school year comes to a close, it's time to look ahead to an exciting new one!

We'll be taking a look back at everything the Bison Community Council accomplished over the past year, sharing updates, andโ€”most importantlyโ€”brainstorming ideas for the year ahead. Your voice and ideas can help shape programs, events, and opportunities that support our students, staff, and school community.

We especially encourage families with students entering 6th grade this fall to attend! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Council, meet other families, and find out how you can get involved as your student begins their middle school journey. No previous experience is neededโ€”we're always excited to welcome new faces!

๐Ÿ•• 6:00 PM
๐Ÿ“ BCMS Cafeteria

Whether you have lots of ideas or simply want to learn more, we'd love to see you there. Together, we can make this another fantastic year for our Bison community!
