“ And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name
of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
Colossians 3:17
BCS counts on the loving involvement of parents, extended family
members, staff, and friends to support the educational ministry and
mission of the school. Our school is at its best when we join together
in prayer, sharing of ideas, and participation in the tasks that
provide the means for our students to thrive and mature.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
BCS is a non-profit (501-C-3) organization. Our federal tax ID number
is 68-0238987.
UNITED WAY AND MATCHING FUND OPPORTUNITIES
Many employers offer their employees a contribution opportunity to
non-profit organizations through a means that has been established
by the company. BCS is a non-profit (501-C-3) organization. Upon
request from your employer we will gladly provide the non-profit
verification necessary to establish eligibility for contributions
to be designated to BCS. Your school contact for this matter is
Debi Corbella, 688-0521 ext. 104.
PALS (PARENTS ACTIVELY LENDING SUPPORT)
The parent participation program was designed with the goal of encouraging
parents to be supportive and involved with their student’s
education. There are multiple opportunities for you to take part
in this community. Your PALS coordinator will do her best to inform
you of the service tasks that are available. Look for articles
in the school newsletter and other postings throughout the year.
You are invited to ask your student’s teacher how you may
serve with the classroom needs as well. Grandparents and other
adult family members are welcome to offer their services toward
PALS hours.

single parent families are required to provide 15 hours per academic
year.

ARTWORK FOR EDUCATION
This program showcases student artwork on beautiful 5 x 7 greeting
cards. Cards are packaged into boxed sets of 12 full-color cards

last year as they saw the professional printing and publishing
of their student’s artwork. This program does require a parent
signed permission slip for those under 18 to submit artwork.
JOG-A-THON APRIL 11
The jog is Bradshaw’s largest means of annual fundraising.
Students and staff participate in providing names and addresses for
a prospective jog supporter. (They are not responsible to get donations
or pledges – just the name and address of those who may choose
to sponsor them.) Great individual prizes and class prizes are rewards
for personal and class effort. Our kick off will be in mid March.
We are elated to report that the 2007 Jog-a-thon went far beyond
our goal and brought in substantial gifts amounting to $130,000!
Thank you to all who worked so hard and gave with such generosity.
THE INTERNATIONAL FOOD FAIRE, CARNIVAL, and BOOK FAIR MAY 17
Through sight, sound, and taste BCS transforms into over 20 different
countries. Students spend one month studying a selected country
and their customs, geography, belief system, government, and history.
The culture is brought to light as parents help prepare the rooms
in authentic décor and create traditional recipes of the
land. The preschool provides a fun carnival for the young ones.
The Christian Book Fair is held in the gym lobby and the gymnasium
accommodates the student
Science Fair displays.
FIREWORKS BOOTH
BCS hosts a fireworks booth right here on campus. A popular fireworks
demonstration and barbeque is held one evening prior to the 4th.

of Campbell soup labels and General Mill’s box tops for education.

boxes, and yogurt packs and are valued at .10 each. These do not
need to be neatly cut – just turned in. There is an envelope
to place them in the office or classrooms.
We are an active school!
Involvement in everything is impossible.
Please serve where you can. Your generosity in time and gifts is
vital to the success of this Christian educational ministry.
Bless you and may you enjoy taking part in this worthy mission!
