Today was the first day back for most BCS staff. To welcome them, a Back to School Breakfast was held in the BJSHS cafeteria. During the event, staff heard from Superintendent Chad Yencer, Assistant Superintendent Dave Parker, and Todd Hill, East Central Indiana School Trust president. Mr. Yencer thanked custodians and maintenance staff for all their hard work over the summer. Principals welcomed the new staff members in their buildings. What a great start to the day! Now, all we need are students! #WelcomeBackBruins
