This morning, Friday, October 31st, marks Halloween, and we had a blast celebrating with our annual Halloween Parade! It was a day without uniforms, allowing both students and staff to wear their costumes to school. 🎃
Immediately following the parade, our Little Knights enjoyed their Halloween Parties, and the students had an amazing time! Here are some snapshots from today's festivities.

Oktoberfest Success!
We extend our gratitude to all the school staff and parents who volunteered at our annual Okotbefest event held last Saturday, October 25th. A special acknowledgment goes to the Knights of Columbus for their assistance in selling beer and brats, as well as helping with the setup & clean up. We are also deeply appreciative of the 8th-grade parents who contributed their time at the Haunted Hall, along with those who generously donated baked goods for our sale—we successfully raised over $400, which allowed us to pay the live band performing at the event. The funds generated from the Haunted Hall will be allocated to our 8th-grade students for their upcoming overnight field trip to Hershey, PA, this Spring.
Thank you, BSS Community, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!!
