Girls On Fire!

Last Friday, our older girls that attend BGC went to a conference called “Girls On Fire.” It was a fun day filled with learning, singing, dancing, and most importantly learning about how to prevent Cyberbullying. The girls sat through different lessons about social media, how to prevent bullying online and learned about self-competence and how to inspire other women. Guest speakers included Mayor Jan Moore and Dean of Students Patrice Buckner Jackson !
Thanks to all who participated and volunteered, it was such a great and inspiring day!

The Real “MVP” Of The Week!

Meet Kenyan, our MVP of the week! During the school year we give out awards to the “Terrific Kid” of the week, in the summer we call them our MVP’s. We chose our MVP’s based off their work, their attitude, and overall character throughout the week. Kenyan showed great progress in his school work, has been respectful to his surrounding classmates, and showed great enthusiasm for learning this summer! Kenyan also dreams to be a Doctor one day! We support him fully in his goals and hope to call him “Dr. Kenyan” in the future. Congrats Kenyan on being MVP of the week!
