BCMS packed the gym for the Beautiful Tomorrow assembly—and the energy was electric. The core message? Every student can shape a “beautiful tomorrow” by choosing kindness, practicing resilience, setting goals, and watching out for one another. Students walked away with practical tools for handling challenges, lifting others up, and making positive choices at school and beyond. A huge shout-out to YSC Coordinator Lorie Ryan and everyone who helped make this happen! And a big thank you to our students for bringing the spirit!
