April 2025


From Your Alumni Director


This year's Walk-a-Thon scripture passage is Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." As we quickly approach the end of the school year, this passage really got me thinking about the newest group to join BCHS Alumni — the Class of 2025. As they set out on their path in this crazy world, they will need the word of God to light their path more than ever. The education they have received over the past four years, along with the BCHS family that have been by their side, will allow them to flourish as they each head on their own individual journeys.


It will be a busy four weeks around here with all the end-of-the-year events and activities! Enjoy this season and all of the renewal, reflection, and memories it may bring.


Blessings,
