The BT community showed up in a big way for Oktoberfest.  There were over 400 trunk or treaters and their families in attendance.  250 pre-ordered tickets and 165 tickets purchased at the door. A huge thank you to our 22 trunk volunteers, 15 concessions/ticket booth volunteers, 10 amazing CHS volunteers, the 5th grade bakers, and Mrs. Ackerman and the Galaxy Glow artists who helped make it a fun night for all! The BTPTO events are 100% fueled by volunteers and we could not do it without you!  A special thank you to our custodial team who helps set up and clean up every event.  Thank you!

"Mille grazie!" - Let's show our amazing teachers and staff how thankful we are for all that they do! The Staff Appreciation Committee will be hosting a hot catered dinner featuring food from Boro Market for teachers and staff on Monday, November 20th, during conferences. We are asking for some additional donation items and help for set up. Let's come together and show the BT Staff just how much we appreciate them!
