OTHER NEWS - TEENS IN NEED

NEW! TEENS IN NEED (T.I.N.) Program Launch

Based on suggestions from several Members, the PTO is starting a "Teens in Need" program under the umbrella of our Sunshine Committee, led by our awesome Claire Croutch. The purpose is to give all BVNW students the opportunity to participate in academics, sports, performing arts, and school-sponsored activities regardless of financial circumstances. We hope to help cover essential costs like equipment, uniforms, and participation fees for example, that act as financial barriers preventing student engagement: a win-win for the whole BVNW community!

How can you help?

Make a monetary donation that will be used to stretch the PTO budget to purchase items requested or pay for participation fees. Click HERE and select "T.I.N. Donation" to donate directly to the fund or drop off at the BVNW front desk a check made out to BVNW PTO with "TIN Fund" in the notes. 


If you know of a student who has not been able to participate in a class, sport or other activity based on ability to pay, please encourage them to contact their Counselor or Program Sponsor to make a request.

*Students whose parents selected 'opt out of directory' when registering via ParentVue were excluded. 

ABOUT YOUR PTO

Our Mission is to foster a strong sense of community, support student spirit and achievement, and strengthen the partnership between parents, teachers and administration. 

We plan to do this by:

  • Supporting events, sports, clubs and extracurricular activities that enable all students to have positive experiences and build pride for their school.
  • Informing, engaging and growing our community of PTO Members and donors.
