Our largest fundraiser each year is our Pup Strut!  It is coming up on Thursday and Friday, October 2 and 3.  We need your help.  If you know someone who would be willing to be a sponsor for us, please pick up a sponsor packet from the office and have them complete and return it to BECC by August 29th. The Pup Strut allows our PSG to purchase t-shirts for every student.  The PSG also provides support and classroom resources for the BECC Staff.  Thank you for your continued support.
