We Heard You! Based on feedback from BFA families, the annual PTO fundraiser for the 2021-22 school year will be a direct-giving campaign. This means that 100 percent of all funds donated will go directly to BFA! The PTO’s goal is to raise $50,000. The suggested donation is $100 per student or $250 per family, but any amount is appreciated. The PTO is raising funds to support their annual expenditures like paying for teacher appreciation, school planners, teacher requests, the school directory, Lexia, volunteer recognition, HelpCounter, funding AR rewards, as well as a new sign for the front of the school, playground enhancements and virtue banners. Look for more details next week.
 
In addition to the direct-giving campaign, the PTO will host an online auction where you can bid on five reserved parking spaces (4 annual and 1 monthly), front row seats to all of the grade-level musicals, and six front and center seats to eighth grade graduation! In addition, you can purchase Pathway to Learning commemorative bricks. These commemorative bricks are a great way to leave a lasting memory of your time at BFA. They will be placed in front of the school alongside the existing bricks. 
 
You will be able to make donations, buy commemorative bricks, and place your auction bids using our online auction webpage beginning Monday, Feb. 7, through Friday, Feb. 18.
