Ways to Help B-CC:
- Donate
to the B-CC HS Educational Foundation
— Contributions to the Foundation have enabled
B-CC High School to continue as a first-rate educational
institution in this community. They have helped equip
the newly renovated school with state-of-the-art technology,
including a Cyber café, a language lab, and research
hubs for small group learning. They have supported innovative
educational programs, such as the International Baccalaureate,
the Summer Academy for low-achieving students, the after-school
academic support program for all students, and CollegeTracks
which helps first-generation, college-bound students
in navigating the college and financial aid application
process. They also have provided grants to teachers
for training and classroom materials. To help, please
go to donation.
- Buy
a Brick — The B-CC High School inner
courtyard is lined with engraved bricks purchased by
members of the B-CC community including graduates, teachers,
administrators, students, parents, families, local communities,
and clubs. Graduates of B-CC classes ranging from 1936-2007
are among the brick purchasers. The cost is $75 per
brick and the money goes directly to the Foundation
and the PTSA for the benefit of B-CC High School. Buy
one for yourself, for a classmate, or for a teacher.
Please go to the Brick
Courtyard webpage to view the bricks and
to download an order form.
- Partner
with B-CC — B-CC has a long history
of partnerships with individuals, businesses, government
agencies and nonprofit organizations that offer internships,
seminars, guest lectures, job shadowing opportunities,
master classes, mentoring and tutoring. Such partnerships
allow students to learn about career opportunities,
acquire hands-on experience in a field of potential
interest, enjoy an enriched classroom experience, and
receive extra help they need to succeed academically.
For more information on how you can help in these areas,
please go to
B-CC High School Partnership.
- Volunteer
at B-CC
— There are various ways you could help enrich
the students' experience at B-CC. You could join the
"Speakers Bureau" and share your experience
and expertise with B-CC students for a classroom period
or a brown-bag lunch period. You could be a mentor:
help students with their science fair projects, work
with first-generation, college-bound students to navigate
the college and financial aid application process, or
tutor students who need help with their school work.
If you are interested, please email PTSA president,
Mary
Cobbett.
- Help
build a B-CC alumni network — Alumni
are a good resource for the school. An alumni network
will aid alumni interested in reconnecting with their
old alma mater and former classmates. To have an effective
network, we need help from all alumni: be a contact
person for your class; send us reunion information and
classmate news; distribute B-CC news to your classmates;
or help us update the alumni database. If you are interested
in helping, please e-mail Alumni.
- Be
a board member of the B-CC HS Educational Foundation
— The Foundation raises funds for
projects that continue the tradition of excellence at
B-CC. Board members are all volunteers. They develop
goals, formulate strategies, and launch fundraising
campaigns. Twice a year, they review grant applications
and approve funding for projects. The Board meets once
every two months, and members communicate via e-mail
and telephone between meetings. If you are interested,
please e-mail Foundation.
