Our last week of school!
Our last week of school was full with our students studying for their exams, packing up and preparing to go home, cleaning the dorm, parents arriving, and lots of last things.
Eighth Grade Banquet
(These are all the 8th grade girls- can you pick out our five)
All the eighth grade boys - including our 4
Participating from our dorm were: Josh, Ira, and Laura on the violin and G.I. on the flute. Here center on violin is Ira.The reality of the school year being over began as parents began showing up to take their kids home for the summer.

Luke and Marshall cuttin loose from studying to dance in our kitchen!
Dorm Cleaning: Part of living in community means each one of us doing our part to keep our home and yard clean and in order. The whole dorm must be cleaned before our students can leave for the summer.

Final Band Practice
Marshall got together with his band "Cyprus" buddies to jam one last time before the summer. Two BFA alumni, Merrit and Jack (middle of picture), came to watch and listen. Merrit and Jack had a rock band when they were students at BFA. Merrit gave drumming lessons to Marshall and Jack gave guitar lessons to Parker (bottom left in picture).
