Reminder: Semester 1 Ends Jan 20th

As Semester 1 wraps up, we wanted to send out a reminder on our missed work and retake policy as stated within the 2022-2023 BFA Playbook:

Reminder PLPs

Students have been working on their Personal Learning Plan assignments throughout the semester. Each third week of the month, advisory and enrichment time has been dedicated to the PLP task of the month. Students have been given reminders and support to complete the tasks on the timeline.
Semester one PLP requirements are due on January 20th. PLPs are a graduation requirement and will be reflected on the student's report card and transcript. If your student needs support, they should see their advisor or Mr. Mahabir.

Powder Puff Presentation at

BFA vs. MVU Basketball Game

on December 27th

A check of $12,434.50 was presented to the Jim Bashaw Cancer and Catastrophic Fund, represented by Jennifer Howrigan. BFA Athletic Director Dan Marlow spoke at the presentation. The money was raised through the Fall 2022 Powder Puff Game between Bellow Free Academy - St. Albans and Missisquoi Valley Union. A matching check was given earlier this month to Camp Ta Kum Ta, the BFA Boosters donated the $2000 profit from that night’s concession stand to Camp Ta Kum Ta, and the remaining amount went to two scholarships at both of the schools in Jim Bashaw’s name. This year the event raised $30,189. Over the past 13 years, pausing in 2020, the event has raised and been able to donate over $270,000 to give back to the community. It is amazing what students can do when given a chance!
