Once again this summer, B.B.C.A. will conduct fireworks sales to raise money for our programs. The location of this year’s sales will be at the Wolf Den Plaza, directly across from Sonoma State University. Sales will begin on Saturday, June 28th and will continue through Thursday, July 4th. Please tell all your friends and relatives, and ask them to come out and support our school. For more information speak with Mr. Charon.

Vacation Bible School is rapidly approaching. Registration is free, and may be completed online at our church website: www.bbaptist.org, or you can stop by the church office and register your children. The dates of the VBS are July 21 – 25, and is held from 9a.m. until noon each day. Closing ceremonies are scheduled for Sunday evening, July 27th at 6pm.

Please remember that your first installment of annual fees was due on June 1. Please be sure and submit this to the school office; not to SMART tuition management. If you have any questions please call the school office.

School is out for summer; however, we have a full schedule of activities planned for our children throughout the summer months.

It all begins with our annual Pioneer Club Campout. This year we will camp at the Little Bear Campground at beautiful Lake Mendocino. The dates of the campout are Thursday, June 19 through Saturday, June 21. An organizational meeting will be conducted at our church on Sunday evening, June 15, following the evening service. If you are interest in attending this event please be present at this meeting. This is always a great event; one you will not want to miss.

Next is our Vacation Bible School, July 21 through 25, 9:00 a.m. until noon daily. The cost to attend VBS is free. Students will enjoy great singing, fun games, creative crafts, delicious snacks, and stirring lessons from the Word of God.

If you need more information on these events please contact the school office. We encourage each of you to take advantage of these wonderful family activities through the summer months.

We are now entering our final week of classes for the 2007-2008 school session. Please note the following:

Monday, June 2: Regular day; classes follow normal schedule.

Tuesday, June 3: No classes due to Sonoma County Elections.

Wednesday, June 4: Academic Awards Program, 9:00 a.m.; classes following presentations for students requiring additional testing.

Thursday, June 5: Classes for students requiring additional testing only; dismissal at noon.

Friday, June 6: Commencement exercises begin at 7:00 p.m.

Please remember that extended care is now over, and no extended care (morning or afternoon) will be provided for the last week of school. If your child has been released from mandatory attendance they do not need to report to classes on Monday or Thursday; however, all students need to be present (in chapel uniform) for the awards presentations on Wednesday. Students that have been released may leave immediately following the presentations. Report cards will be completed and mailed to your home no later than Friday, June 13. If you have not received your child’s report card by June 18, please call the school office.

Please remember that the first installment of the Annual Fees for the 2008-2009 school session are now due. Please forward these to the school office as soon as possible.

This will allow us to keep you informed throughout the summer.
