A Word from the Head of School
Hey BCS Family,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Fall Break this last weekend. Our staff had a chance to do our annual Beach Retreat this past Thursday, and I wanted to share a question and a thought with you that was posed to us from Pastor Chad Poe with Grace Bible Church in Clute.
Essentially, we were challenged to recall, remember and recommit to our "why" that brought us to Brazosport Christian School. What we often face as life starts and gets busy is we begin to put all focus and emphasis on the what of our tasks, roles, and assignments, quickly leading to frustration, angst, and exhaustion. The "why" is what grants us purpose, endurance, and faithfulness to where we are. My ask of you, in tandem with our staff, is would you also remember your "why" in being at BCS? The why's motivate the what's and the how's, so let's not forget the reason why we are all here at BCS.
Have a great week ahead!
