Class of 2020 celebrates their “Caronation” on what would have been their official graduation day

In its third year, the PIE initiative once again hit a record high at 85% overall BT parent participation from 502 families – an increase of 27 (3%) new families over the previous year. PIE, or “Participation is Everything,” calls on all BT families to be a “piece of the PIE” in support of the Annual Campaign, which helps to fund the daily operations of the school. The four-week campaign kicked off on November 11 starting at 44% parent participation. In just three years of PIE’s existence, parents have increased their campaign participation by more than 50%! We are deeply thankful to you, our BT parents, for fueling our mission and being part of BT’s culture of philanthropy.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR 2020 CAPTAINS FOR THEIR DEDICATED EFFORTS IN CLOSING THE PIE CAMPAIGN!
