🎓 Today was AVID Day at BFA!

Our Class of 2030 students spent the day exploring their futures through engaging career speakers, special classroom activities and interactive stations during lunch. Students had opportunities to learn about different career paths, ask questions, connect with professionals and discover resources that can help them prepare for success in high school, college and beyond.

Thank you to our guest speakers, staff members and everyone who helped organize today’s activities. We loved seeing our students participate, learn and begin thinking about all the possibilities ahead of them! 💙🎉
