Hello Everyone,
As you know, the BFA Prom is tomorrow evening in Burlington. It marks the beginning of the celebration season for BFA and high schools throughout the state. We want all our families to enjoy these very special moments with their students and graduates. Most importantly, we hope all our students are very mindful about decisions they make during this exciting time, especially about using alcohol and other drugs. Sadly, one wrong decision can lead to catastrophic consequences.
By working together and reinforcing this message, we can enjoy a safe and memorable graduation season. If you need any support on student substance use, do not hesitate to reach out to school administrators, our School Resource Officer or our guidance and nursing staff.
Thank you very much for your support and understanding as we look forward to celebrating with the class of 2019!
Sincerely,
Chris Mosca

A message from BELLOWS FREE ACADEMY
Members of the BFA Community:
Recently, we have received reports that teens are vaping/smoking substances that are causing them to suddenly become very ill. Please discuss this with your teen to make them aware of the health concerns regarding substance. If you are concerned regarding a loved one that has loss consciousness, become very pale, or acting abnormal, please consult your health care provider immediately. It is our hope that through increased awareness our children will stay safe and make healthy decisions.
