Daily Life - Clubs and Activities

Affinity Lunch
As part of the School’s commitment to diversity, the Lower School offers an opportunity for students of color to gather once a week for lunch. The lunches are voluntary; each family of color decides whether their child will participate. Once a month participants invite a classmate to Affinity Lunch. Several members of the BB&N faculty and staff host the lunches.

Asian Cultural Society
