🏀 On Saturday, December 14, our BFS Varsity Basketball teams hosted DMHS for an action-packed day! 💙 Varsity Girls dominated with a strong start, securing a massive 47-11 victory! 🔥🦈 Varsity Boy had a tough early deficit, the boys battled back to trail by just 8 at halftime. Though they couldn’t close the gap, they kept giving their all! 👏 Big thanks to DMHS and our amazing fans! Let’s keep swimming forward, Sharks!

🎭✨ The 6th grade class brought Charles Dickens` A Christmas Carol to life! 📚 The students practiced tirelessly, mastering multiple roles and collaborating with scene partners. From costumes to dialogue to character development, they poured their creativity into every moment. 👏 Today, their dedication paid off as they performed the adapted play in front of families and Elementary classes. It was an incredible performance that they can truly be proud of! 🎉 Bravo, 6th graders! 🌟
