💙 KNIGHTS AGAINST BULLYING! 💙
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a time to remind ourselves that each of us has the power to make our school a kinder, more welcoming place. 💙
This Friday, October 2, we’re asking our BCHS students and staff to WEAR BLUE to show our support for bullying prevention, kindness, inclusion, and respect!
At BCHS, being a Knight means looking out for one another. A kind word, an invitation to join in, standing up for someone, or simply choosing kindness can make a bigger difference than we realize. 🫶
Let’s fill the halls with BLUE on Friday and show that our Knights choose KINDNESS! 💙💚💛
Be Kind. Be Inclusive. Be a Knight. ⚔️
