Thank You for an Incredible Night!
Wow, what an unforgettable evening! Our first Foundations of Legacy Gala was an amazing success, and I’m completely blown away by the love and support from our BCS family. You all showed up in such a big way—your generosity and enthusiasm have truly made this night one to remember.
This event wasn’t just about celebrating our past and planning for the future—it was also a testament to God’s faithfulness and His plans for our school. I am so grateful for how He is working through this community and each of you to strengthen and grow BCS. Truly, none of this would be possible without His guidance and your willingness to step forward in faith.
I’m beyond excited to share the final numbers with you later this week—trust me, they’re something to be proud of! Transparency is so important to me, especially when it comes to fundraising, and I can’t wait to show you the incredible impact your support is making.
For those of you who won live or silent auction items—whether it’s an experience or tickets—I’ll be reaching out via email starting tomorrow to help coordinate everything. If you need anything in the meantime, just let me know!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this night such a huge success. I’m still riding the wave of excitement, and I can’t wait to see all the ways God will continue to work through us to build the future of BCS together.
With so much gratitude,
Ariel Lara

Secondary Parents - Mark your calendars
Secondary Parents, mark your calendars for Final Exams - December 18 & 19. Below you will find information about final exams and exemptions for secondary students (5th-12th grade) from our student handbook. There is also a final exam schedule included. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Midterms/Finals Semester tests are an important part of the transition from elementary to secondary educational areas, and from secondary realms to higher level education. In addition to evaluating the student’s academic knowledge of the course, the purpose of requiring finals is to better prepare the student for college pace and scale of assessment. Final exams must be taken at the regularly scheduled time as designated by administration each semester. In the case of dire circumstances, special permission must be received from the appropriate Principal to take an exam early. The appropriate Principal will handle an unexcused absence from a semester exam.
The students not required to be present for an exam may leave campus through established checkout procedures. Finals process will be as follows for each grade level listed:
- 5th-8th Grades: two core finals in Fall semester and two core finals in Spring semester
- 9th Grade: All core finals taken each semester with opportunity for one exempt final
- 10th Grade: All core finals taken each semester with opportunity for two exempt finals
- 11th Grade: All core finals taken each semester with opportunity for three exempt finals
- 12th Grade: All core finals taken each semester with opportunity to exempt all finals
- have a 90% or better in the course
- have obtained no demerits or discipline write ups
BCS PTF
PTF Christmas Shop
Natalie Elf Shelf offers a cashless option through their ewallet system for students to pay for their gifts. An envelope will be going home this week with more details. Note that the envelope must be returned before the student begins to shop. PTF Pro Tip: have students start doing chores to earn money for Holiday Shop, or ask the grandparents, aunts and uncles over the Thanksgiving Break.
While we understand that the Holiday Store has been geared towards our Elementary aged students, we highly encourage our Secondary students to visit the store this season. New company means new gift options.
The store will be open during the times listed below:

BCS Highlights
Pastor Appreciation
We are so thankful for Pastors and the call that God has placed on their lives to teach us the Word of God and to lead the churches in our community. October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and we were privileged to have so many pastors join us for chapel as our BCS students and staff took time to pray over them. Pastors, you are loved and appreciated.
Veterans Day
Veterans Day was a special day at BCS. We were able to honor many veterans who have faithfully served our country. Thank you to our Veterans and your families for spending the morning with us. We honor you and thank you for your service.
