Grandparents & Special Friends

This video is from our most recent grandparent/special friend lunch-and-learn, at which grandparents and students explored technology use at BZAEDS, including the use of Twitter and blogs in classrooms. Our next lunch-and-learn program will take place on Thursday, April 18 at noon, highlighting the social justice work of BZAEDS students. Grandparents/special friends of all students are welcome! Please RSVP here by April 15. We look forward to seeing you!

Whether your grandchildren, nieces or nephews are just joining our school this fall or are set to graduate in June, you and your family will always be part of our school community.
