Week of March 5

Well March certainly made an entrance this year! I hope all of our BCHMCPS families made it through this weekend's stormy weather with minimal disruptions. The school made it through the weekend well. The roofers for the school were here on Thursday to tighten up and were back today to survey for any potential problems. The roof work will begin again in a couple of weeks to complete the full job.
