Parents, For those that were not at the meeting last week, we decided to stick with our BPD shirt and move to a Boswell Blue Color.  This is a proof of what the shirt will look like. Our goal is that all parents will be willing to purchase 1 shirt so we show a united presence at contest and games. If you have not already placed your order, and would like a shirt, please respond to this email by Wednesday, August 20th. The cost will be $15 (S-XL) and $17 for (2XL and above). Just to clarify, your students will be receiving 1 shirt, so only place an order for any additional shirts you would like for family or your student. Thanks so much! -- Jessica South Treasurer, BPD 817/312-2047
