BSS Give Back Week-December 11th - 18th 📚 

Each year, our school takes one week in December to give back to our community. We make sure each grade level has a special project and students are involved in every step of the project. Students make or assemble gifts and then deliver them to their recipients! We will transform our SmartLabs into Santa's Workshops for the month of December in order to create our gifts. Below is a list of activities each grade level will work on. While each class will be working on creating gifts using supplies BSS will provide, we are also starting a new tradition this year: We are hosting a Book Drive to benefit the Alamance Partnership for Children (APC)!

APC is in great need of books for students ages 6-12, so we are asking that you send in new or gently used books that APC can distribute to students all over Alamance County and spread the joy of reading. Please send in one or more books to donate by Friday, December 13! There will be collection bins at both campuses.

BSS Give Back Week: del 11 al 18 de diciembre 📚 Semana de Donación Navideña

Cada año, nuestra escuela se toma una semana en diciembre para contribuir a nuestra comunidad. Nos aseguramos de que cada nivel de grado tenga un proyecto especial y que los estudiantes participen en cada paso del proyecto. ¡Los estudiantes hacen o ensamblan regalos y luego los entregan a sus destinatarios! Transformaremos nuestros SmartLabs en Talleres de Papá Noel durante el mes de diciembre para poder crear nuestros regalos. En la parte de arriba se muestra una lista de actividades en las que trabajará cada nivel de grado. Si bien cada clase trabajará en la creación de obsequios utilizando los suministros que BSS proporcionará, también estamos comenzando una nueva tradición este año: ¡estaremos organizando una colecta de libros en beneficio de Alamance Partnership for Children (APC)!

APC tiene una gran necesidad de libros para estudiantes de 6 a 12 años, por lo que le pedimos que envíe libros nuevos o usados ​​en buen estado para que APC pueda distribuir a los estudiantes de todo el condado de Alamance y difundir el placer de la lectura. ¡Envíe uno o más libros para donar antes del viernes 13 de diciembre! Habrá contenedores de recolección en ambos campus.
