Over the summer, you need to read one or more of the following works of literature (the more “accessible” texts are nearer to the top of the list):
The short stories of Chekhov, Hemingway and Somerset Maugham.
The Catcher in the Rye– J.D.Salinger

We have been busy filming throughout the year, and now we are ready to share some of that footage with our community. We have managed to upload only a very, very small fraction of the videos our faculty and students have produced throughout the year. More videos will be added in the coming days, so be sure to visit often to see something new.
The BFIS In Motion video section is restricted to the BFIS community and will not be readily available to the general public. You must be logged into the BFIS website in order to view this section. If you are logged into the BFIS website, click here to go continue. |

Ahhh, the joy of summer! When the days are long and sunny, the skies are blue and clear, and time seems to pass more slowly, allowing you to savor the sweetness of life more fully.
"Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language"
-Henry James, ex patriot writer
It is also an opportune time to reacquaint yourself with the pleasure of reading. To find a list of recommended summer reading, by subject area, I invite you to browse some of our staff's selection of recommended titles.
Middle and High School students, there is a required reading list you should check out before the end of summer is too soon to greet you! |
