This week Mrs. Platz and Ms. Kluck planned a special faculty meeting to announce this year’s EXEMPLARY Summative Designation to all our BVJH/BVE Staff. This esteemed designation belongs to all our students, staff, and the entire BV Community. To celebrate the exciting news staff members were treated to sparkling cider, sweet treats, trophies, and their own ‘Walk of Fame’ stars. There was also a special video from principal/influencer Gerry Brooks to congratulate everyone at BVJH/BVE on this amazing accomplishment.
