This week’s…

BVR STUDENT HIGHLIGHT
MS Highlight 2.15
Abigail Zimman ‘28 and Allie Kahn ‘28 presented The BVR Student element Tries New Things.

“Ms Hollos has been telling us to try new things, like afternoon activities and lunch. If you don’t try new things, you won’t know if you like it. When you try new things you can meet new people, branch out, and do things maybe you didn’t think you could do.”

FEED YOUR BRAIN PICK

Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Recommended by Charli Scott ’27.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK …
“It has a mix of realistic fiction and a tiny bit of unrealistic slightly mythological parts to complete the story.”

WHY I THINK YOU WOULD LIKE IT …
“It is one of the classics like ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ but is a very fun read.”

LUNCH & RECESS PROGRAMMING
