Middle School. Thanks to a grant for Gear-Up, we
will offer tutoring two nights a week on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The tutoring will primarily focus on eightth
grade STEM but will also be available to help
others as practical.
Students in need? We have a collection of
hygiene items for those students who are in need
of them. The efforts of the Coalition for
Children and Families Phoenix Project will be
providing these items via our school. If you are
in need of such items, or know of others who are
in need, please contact a teacher, principal or
counselor at BCMS to access these items.
