BFIS is excited to announce that next year we will have the opportunity to field competitive futbol/soccer teams through a partnership with Maddock Sports in the Consell de l’Esport Escolar de Barcelona (Barcelona School Sports league). These teams are meant to provide another level of extra curricular involvement for students. These teams are not meant to replace the current youth futbol/soccer after school activities that already take place on campus. These activities will continue next year for students who cannot or do not wish to advance to the next level of competitive team sports. They are meant to provide a more serious, structured, and competitive team environment for student athletes. Please click on  BFIS Soccer 2008/2009 - English for information in English and BFIS Futbol 2008/2009- Spanish for information in Spanish.

Thank You

On Tuesday, April 22nd, we will have our next book fair.  It will again be held all day in the music room.  The same company (Bookworld España) will be running the fair, and students can either bring cash or set things aside for their parents to pick up later in the day.  All elementary classes will visit the fair during a set time period, and middle/high school students can come when they have free periods.  The BFIS Library receives 40% of the profits to spend on books with Bookworld España, so shopping at the fair benefits the school!
