Dear B-CC Community,
Thanks for coming to the Foundation's party on March 6th, given to raise funds to pay for academic support programs for all students at B-CC HS.
Parents, alumni, parents of alumni, and community supporters came together to visit, eat, listen to the B-CC HS Jazz Combo, and hear Sean Bulson and president of the Foundation, Matt Gandal, speak about the very important work the Foundation does: supporting TAP, CollegeTracks, mentoring, staff development, department projects, the Cyber Cafe, the Language Lab, & ESOL classes for parents, among other things.
