Join us in this innovative service learning challenge!
Starting January 16, 2018, BCS will be partnering with Foodstand, a sustainable eating behavior change program that provides an education and challenge experience via their mobile platform. The app provides daily education, tracking, one-on-one support, team and challenge set up, and reporting to help measure the impact of the initiative. The program supports our curriculum goals at BCS and will help us live into our 3E’s (education, environment, each other).
Please read the parentinformation letter and, if you would like your child to participate, print and complete the consentform returning it to your child’s homeroom/academic lab teacher no later than Thursday, Jan. 11, 2018 (complete one form for each child participating). For those who want to join in on the challenge, a voluntary workshop will be provided on Tuesday, 1/16/18 at 6:30 PM in the BCS media center (also on BCS Facebook Live).
