Supporting Community

Each year our teachers donate their time and money to support the community through various outreach projects. Those projects have included: 

• Annual CAP Agency Food Drive
• Book Drives
• Annual trips to cook and serve meals at Ronald McDonald House
• Home building with Habitat for Humanity
• Feed My Starving Children

Supporting Students

BTA President Chris Greer submitted a proposal to receive free books for our students based on need.  Chris shared how budget cuts have impacted our District’s ability to buy new books for our students.  Chris’ proposal was accepted and First Book sent him 200 free books for our students.  Chris worked with Kathy Connolly to figure where the books would do the most good.
