Three school staff members are gathered in an office space, with two seated at a small round table and one at a wooden desk. The office is decorated with pink roses on the table and features a bookshelf filled with children’s books, while the staff member at the desk is on a phone call.
Four female staff members stand together smiling in a brightly lit school hallway next to a bulletin board with a colorful border. One staff member in the center holds a bouquet of red and yellow roses, while they all wear lanyards and casual attire. The hallway features speckled flooring and brick-patterned lower walls.
So proud of our BPAC parent group meeting for the 2025-26 school year! Their family involvement truly helps us build our collective future and inspire dreams. 💡 #D83Shines
