To say that 2020 did not go as intended is probably too much of an understatement. Opening BCS has been a dream in the works for the last five or so years but I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready for a lot of things in 2020 😉 . This beautiful journey has been such a wonderful, exciting, exhilarating, terrifying experience so far. Thank you for coming on this adventure with us. I thought you might like to see where we are in process. If you have any questions, concerns, ideas, or inspiration, please reach out. This school isn’t mine, it belongs to the community, it belongs to you.
