Notes of Warmth

Mr. Mal proudly carried on his favorite BA tradition by donning his elf attire and helping facilitate a “Notes of Warmth” celebration on the last full day of school before winter break. Students shared handwritten well wishes while enjoying cups of hot cocoa, spreading kindness and cheer throughout the building. Thank you to the BAMbassadors for sponsoring this event! As we head into the winter break, we extend our warmest wishes to our students, families, and staff. We also encourage our staff to unplug this holiday season and truly enjoy their well-deserved time off. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for a great start to the new year!

On Wednesday, December 17th, the BA music department presented their Holiday Extravaganza which was very well attended. Selections were presented from the 6:45 Band, Chamber Choir, Jazz Band, Con Brio Choir, Symphonic Band, Concert Choir Carolers, Percussion Ensemble and a very entertaining surprise addition from the Music Tech students. A surprise visit from a very entertaining Santa made the evening even more. See the schedule below to see when you can catch a performance!
