Parent Information Night

Our first-ever Parent Informational Night was a success!
  • We connected parents with our staff to better understand PowerSchool & Google Classroom.
  • Our VSAC representative helped relieve some of the stressors regarding college planning.
  • Families were provided with information about how their students can get more involved at BFA and some of the support structures to improve well-being.











Congratulations!

VSARN Day of Equity

Students attended the VSARN (Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network) Day of Equity at the Vermont State House on Friday, 9/30/22. They got to hear student speakers from schools all over VT, as well as speeches from David Zuckerman, Becca Ballint, a representative for Bernie Sanders, and a representative for Peter Welch. Students participated in workshops from Vermont Human Rights Commission and other Social Justice Advocates, got to tour the VT State Capitol, and enjoyed free ice cream from Ben and Jerry's!

More than 90 BFA seniors joined their school counselors, NCTC counselors, and area admissions counselors to tackle their college applications. UVM wrapped up the event with a random raffle giving away UVM shirts and hats.
