April is National Library Month, a time to celebrate the important role our school libraries play in supporting learning, curiosity, and a love of reading. Thank you to our library staff for creating welcoming spaces where students can explore, discover, and grow every day!
Ernie, our newest professional therapy dog, is already making a BIG impact after his first week! 🐾
He’s been busy spreading smiles at BMS and BHS—meeting students and staff, making lots of new friends, sneaking in a few well-earned naps, and even receiving his very first self-portrait from a talented BMS 7th grader 🎨
We’re so lucky to have you, Ernie! 💙

Meet Ernie, our new BCSD Therapy Dog. Thanks to a generous gift from the Give Like Charly Foundation, which is funded in memory of BHS '22 grad Charly Erpelding, Ernie will join the BCSD Therapy Dog Program to support staff and students all around BCSD.

Ernie will be working all around BCSD with Mrs. Hoyt, he's headed to BMS to start his day on Monday. He'll also be working at BHS with Mr. Hoyt!
