“The relationship among the adults has more to do with the character and the quality of a school than any other factor.”
Roland Barthes
Dear BPC Community,
I’m delighted to share with you BPC’s Online Annual Report 2022 – 2024. The primary purpose of any annual report is to provide insight into an organization's financial health, and also to thank the many people who give time and treasure to support and advance the mission. I am pleased to be able to report that our school's finances are healthy, as are our bonds as a community. Thank you to everyone who supports BPC in so many helpful ways.
Annual reports also typically share details about what is special about an organization. For this report we have chosen to celebrate the tenure and legacy of our esteemed Head of School John Carlstroem. I hope you will enjoy the reflections and appreciations of a broad range of community members for John as he concludes nearly 20 years of stewardship of our wonderful school.
Many of you may also want to share your appreciations of John with him and will be invited to do so later in the year. In the meantime, save the date for a Farewell Party for John Carlstroem at BPC on Sunday, June 2, 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm.
Sincerely, Shalini Sharp Chair, BPC Board of Directors
