Ways to Help B-CC:
- Donate
to the B-CC HS Educational Foundation —
Contributions to the Foundation have enabled B-CC High School
to continue as a first-rate educational institution in this
community. They have helped equip the newly renovated school
with state-of-the-art technology, including a community connections
center, Cyber café, and research hubs for small group
learning. They have supported innovative educational programs,
such as the International Baccalaureate, the Summer Academy
for low achieving students, and the College Connections program
designed to support students who need extra help applying to
college. They also have provided grants to teachers for training
and classroom materials. To help, please go to donation.
- Buy
a Brick — The B-CC High School inner courtyard
is lined with engraved bricks purchased by members of the B-CC
community including graduates, teachers, administrators, students,
parents, families, local communities, and clubs. Graduates of
B-CC classes ranging from 1936-2007 are among the brick purchasers.
The cost is $75 per brick and the money goes directly to the
PTSA for the benefit of B-CC. Buy one for yourself, for a classmate,
or for a teacher. Download an order
form here, print it, fill it out, and mail
it with a check (made out to the B-CC High School PTSA) to:
B-CC PTSA Bricks, B-CC High School, 4301 East-West Highway,
Bethesda, MD 20814
- Partner
with B-CC — B-CC has a long history of partnerships
with individuals, businesses, government agencies and nonprofit
organizations that offer internships, seminars, guest lectures,
job shadowing opportunities, master classes, mentoring and tutoring.
Such partnerships allow students to learn about career opportunities,
acquire hands-on experience in a field of potential interest,
enjoy an enriched classroom experience, and receive extra help
they need to succeed academically. For more information on how
you can help in these areas, please go to
B-CC High School Partnership.
- Volunteer
at B-CC
— There are various ways you could help enrich the students'
experience at B-CC. You could join the "Speakers Bureau"
and share your experience and expertise with B-CC students for
a classroom period or a brown-bag lunch period. You could mentor
students in their science fair projects. You could tutor students
who need help with their school work. You could lend a hand
to B-CC's Technology Initiative. If you are interested, please
go to B-CC
High School Volunteer.
- Help
build a B-CC alumni network — Alumni are
a good resource for the school. An alumni network will aid alumni
interested in reconnecting with their old alma mater and former
classmates. To have an effective network, we need help from
all alumni: be a contact person for your class; send us reunion
information and classmate news; distribute B-CC news to your
classmates; or help us update the alumni database. If you are
interested in helping, please e-mail Alumni.
- Be
a board member of the B-CC HS Educational Foundation
— The Foundation raises funds for projects that continue
the tradition of excellence at B-CC. Board members are all volunteers.
They develop goals, formulate strategies, and launch fundraising
campaigns. Twice a year, they review grant applications and
approve funding for projects. The Board meets once every two
months, and members communicate via e-mail and telephone between
meetings. If you are interested, please e-mail Foundation.
