We need one more volunteer for the 6 p.m. shift on Monday, December 18. The event will be wrapping up so volunteers for the last shift will clean up and possibly help families load gifts. You may finish before 8 p.m. All supplies will be provided and there will also be BTW Student Council volunteers on site. Parents and students can volunteer together. Check out the sign up for details and to volunteer.

Students will take ACPs Tuesday, December 19 - Friday, December 22. Check out the updated bell schedule below. Only Friday, December 22 is an early release day; students are dismissed at 1:25 p.m.
