WELCOME TO NEW FAMILIES!!!
No matter how near or far you have come to arrive as a new family at B-CC, the Administration and PTSA recognize the importance of extending a hand of friendship to make you feel welcome at our school. The PTSA has two committees whose sole job is to help you and your student(s) transition easily into their new environment.
The Welcome Committee, which exists for families who have come from the U.S. (be it Westland Middle School, the private system or Arizona).
The International Connections Committee (ICC); for international families and those returning to the U.S. from overseas.
B-CC is a very diverse and international school, and although many different countries are represented in our student and parent body, we aim to build and celebrate one community. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact any of the people below to receive help. They have volunteered their time for the 2009-2010 school year to assist all of our new families. Thank you, and most importantly, WELCOME!

¡Bienvenidos a B-CC!
Estimados amigos,
Sin importar de dónde vengan a ser una nueva familia en BCC, los comités de Contactos Internacionales y de Bienvenida les extendemos una cordial invitación a ustedes y su(s) estudiante(s) a nuestro Evento de Bienvenida para Nuevas Familias patrocinado por la Asociación de Padres, Maestros y Estudiantes (PTSA) el Domingo 23 de Agosto de 2:30 pm a 4:30 pm en el Parque Lynnbrook (8008 Newdale Drive, Bethesda, MD 20814). Además de ser una gran oportunidad para que su estudiante conozca nuevos amigos, hemos invitado también a un grupo de importantes administradores escolares y de miembros de la PTSA para que conversen con ellos. Serviremos bebidas y una rebanada de pastel de bienvenida, esperando recibirlos con gusto. Dado que el Parque Lynnbrook cuenta con un centro de recreación, este evento se llevará a cabo llueva o no. Para contar con las cantidades necesarias de refrigerios, les pedimos que confirmen su asistencia con Caren Danies: danies@verizon.net . Muchas gracias y ¡Bienvenidos a B-CC!
Laura Elsey, Raha Roggero, Caren Danies: Co-Presidentes del Comité de Contactos Internacionales y Mary Rubino: Presidente, Comité de Bienvenida
REGISTER YOUR GIANT AND SAFEWAY CARDS!!!
This is something that MUST BE DONE EVERY YEAR!! If you haven’t already renewed your card PLEASE go to the following websites and do it now. Last year B-CC made almost $5,000 from Giant and $3,000 from Safeway. All you do is register your bonuscards and use them when you shop. The stores do the rest and send B-CC the check(s) periodically. I will be happy to register or renew your card with the Giant program if you send me the 12 digit number from the back of your card. I am also able to sign up your safeway card (11 digit number) for eScrip if this is the first time you are doing it. If you are renewing you must go to the site and follow the directions.

eScript RECYCLING - PRINTER CARTRIDGES & CELL PHONES
Welcome back everyone to another exciting year at B-CC! The PTSA is once again continuing the eScrip Recycling Program. This program is free and provides a convenient way to collect laser and inkjet toners and cartridges, and used cell phones while raising funds for our school. Here's a reminder of how the program works: a collection bin, clearly marked and accessible during school hours, is located just to your left when you enter the main school office. You can drop off your recyclable cell phones, toners and cartridges whenever it is convenient for you. These items are then collected and mailed to eScrip Recycling who then deposits funds into our group's account.
Did you know that every second of the day, nine ink cartridges are thrown away? Help us turn this waste into cash. Not only is this an easy way to raise funds, it also teaches our students valuable lessons about the variety of materials that can be recycled. PLEASE, I do have one request. There are certain items that eScrip Recycling will not accept. PLEASE DO NOT drop off colored ink, remanufactured, or unmarked or unlabeled cartridges and toners. This program can be very successful with the help of the entire B-CC community. Thank you for your help in recycling.
