Easter Fun at BCA!

Just a few scenes of the Easter fun at BCA this week! Our Pre-K and K - 2nd graders enjoyed beautiful weather while hunting for eggs this week! Ms. Webb's 2nd graders also made Resurrection Rolls, and kindergarten painted the Cross. There are signs of the true Easter story all around our school, and we love that we have the privilege of teaching all of our students, babies to middle school, this important message of Jesus' sacrifice for us! Thank you, teachers, for making this a fun and meaningful season!
