Vision and Mission
The BFIS Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) is an organization primarily run by parents, with generous input and assistance from the school's leadership, faculty, and students. The PTA's vision is to create an interconnected community that fosters joy, excellence, life-long learning, service and school spirit at BFIS. The PTA's core goals are to:
- Enrich the educational experience for our students
- Create a welcoming environment for all families
- Support BFIS staff
How to Get Involved
Connecting with the PTA is a rewarding way to enhance your student’s experience at BFIS, get to know the teachers and staff as well as other families outside your student’s grade - and also to have a lot of fun! There are many ways to get involved with varying levels of time commitment - there is something for everyone and all are welcome!
