BFA Opening Ceremonies

BFA Opening Ceremonies kicked off the 2011-2012 school year on Tuesday.  The seniors marched into a packed auditorium carrying flags representing the countries from where our students call home.  The Director, Mr. Phil Peters, delivered an opening address.  Using his canoe for the prop, he shared God's word and encouraged us all to be prepared for the this year's journey, through the quiet waters and the rolling rapids.  He also interviewed the 1st graders (the class of 2023) and as you can tell, we received some funny responses from these 6 year olds.  It is amazing how when the first wanted to boy wanted to be a pilot, and the first girl wanted to be a horse back rider, that the remaining students all followed suit.  Challenging times followed as parents said farewell to their children for the start of this year.
