8th Grade Clap-out Details
It is a BCS tradition that on the last day of school for the 8th graders, all students and staff assemble in the halls and honor them with applause and standing ovation as they exit BCS doors one final time. Parents, family, & community, who are able to attend, line up in two lines outside on the blacktop by the cafeteria doors and continue applauding and congratulating all the 8th graders. This is quite a moving and memorable tradition for our students. There's usually not a dry eye in the place, so bring your tissues!
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer to help with the 8th grade picnic or chaperone for the party - ride to PSU with students on the buses, help with food service, and provide security at the venue.
