This is something that we would continue to do on a yearly basis. We are really happy that as a family at BCB we can contribute.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Students assigned to BCB\u2019s Teams E and H decorated the walls outside their classrooms with pink ribbons to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ST.
