One School, One World

The Fall 2009 "One School, One World" event was a huge success!  Since this event takes place every two years, a planning committee will form early in 2011 to prepare for the Fall 2011  “One School, One World” event. Additional volunteers will be needed next year to participate and contribute.

The Circus is BB&N All-School fair held the first Saturday in May. Proceeds from the circus support the annual fund financial aid budget for the Lower School. Many BB&N families and students from the MS and US help staff games, activities, and food. If you can contribute time or services, please volunteer. 

Welcome new families when admitted. Telephone periodically throughout the year to answer questions and to encourage families to attend informational and community-building events, to volunteer and become involved. Greet families when they come to events and programs at the School.

Attend Admission Open Houses and Spring Revisit Days.

Many families help in many ways to make extra curricular activities a reality at BB&N.  The Parents' Association would like to recognize and thank each family where someone has volunteered in some way:  Parents' Association Executive Committee, Assistant Vice-President of a campus, Class Representative, Pizza Lunch, Dance Chaperone, beverage supplier for athletic competition, usher at a school play, etc.

Our goal is to reach 100% participation from all families even if they can only volunteer for an hour during the year.  Below are the families we would like to recognize as volunteers during the 2009-2010 school year to date.  If you have volunteered and your name is not on the list, please contact the Vice-President at your respective campus and have your name added to the list.
