Welcome to Summer Reading! We hope that you find some great things to read this summer

The next ride on Bergen is Wednesday, June 14, and it is going to be big (and include several leaders from NYC government!). If you want to ride, next week is the moment to get started.

Starting NOW and for the next week (through Sunday, June 18), you can bid on one (or more!) of the fantastic items donated by the generous BNS community and our neighbors around Brooklyn.

Your PTA is excited to announce our inaugural BNS Night Out, a purely social event open to all adults (both parents/caregivers and staff).

Parents and caregivers are welcome to join us Friday, June 16 for a special day that celebrates the learning of all our children.

Student-voice: the thing we hope students who attend BNS will leave knowing they have it and how to use it. We encourage students to advocate for what they need and want.

Rescheduled to Monday, June 12! A celebration of the Earth

Save the date for our next BNS Brews! Grab a cup of coffee or tea at drop-off and connect with other BNS Parents as you shout TGIF!

Sometimes, all it takes is a single word to get a powerful, ground-shifting conversation underway. This week, our fifth graders began the next step of planning and preparing for graduation.

Upcoming May 17th and June 14th

Please read some important messages below, especially the one about traffic safety on Henry Street during drop-off and pick-up. We also hope you'll get involved in our Green/Food Committee and come to our next movie night!
