BVJH/BVE celebrated 4 amazing women this week in Manlius before the final bell rang for staff. Mrs. Ross retired after an amazing 34 year career in education and having touched thousands of lives, she will be greatly missed in our building. Congrats to Mrs. Hartz and Mrs. DeBrock on their growing families (future BV students⚡️) and to Ms. Blessman on her upcoming wedding this summer.
#HappySummerBV☀️
