Congratulations to our eighth-grade class of 2023! On the evening of June 1, parents, grandparents, and friends gathered to enjoy a graduation ceremony which included musical performances, student speakers, and teachers sharing about each graduate.

While there are many special moments for our students at BCCS, one highlight is their final cornerstone project. Prior to graduating, students spend time reflecting on the entirety of their learning and select faith-forming memories from a variety of classes. The cornerstone project has a visual element where students design and create something that summarizes their learning, along with a written explanation. The students then share with small groups of classmates and their parents about their personal faith journey. Our middle school years help prepare students for the next step of high school, but our greatest desire is that their faith truly becomes their own as their relationship with Christ grows.

Graduation recognizes the accomplishments of our students, but more importantly, is a celebration of God’s faithfulness and the work He is doing in their lives. It is a blessing to partner with parents during the formative years of their children’s lives. As our mission states, our desire is to provide an excellent education, rooted in God’s Word, so they are prepared for lifelong service in God’s Kingdom. May God richly bless each of our graduates as they continue to See the Story and Live the Story.
