Does your elementary school have the most school spirit? Soon you will have the chance to prove it.
On Monday, November 11 at 9 a.m., BCSD will host the third annual BC Spirit Run at Elm Avenue Park. The Spirit Run is a free districtwide recreational activity for K-5 families on Veterans Day. Each of our five elementary schools will compete; the elementary school with the most participants will win a trophy and a special award will be given to the fastest school. The event will include a salute to veterans.
