 This blog focuses on sharing important information, classroom work, and photos taken throughout the week.


October 8, 2021

Dear BFA/NCTC Students and Families,

BFA/NCTC staff and admin are heartbroken and outraged at the recent racist events at BFA and surrounding schools. We wanted to have an outward show of support for our BIPOC students by holding a No Hate Rally at BFA/NCTC. This was organized by Nicole Schubert, advisor for the Social Justice Club. The event was also attended by interested students, many of which are part of the Social Justice Club. The signs were messages of hope for inclusion and equity for everyone. We hope the message is clear and powerful.

Warmly,

The BFA/NCTC Administration
