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.

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!

A new calendar year is upon us! We welcome you to 2023, and together, we remember that every milestone such as the start of a new year gives us all a chance to reflect, plan forward and start fresh.
