IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

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

Based on suggestions from several Members, the PTO has started a "Teens in Need" or T.I.N. 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 cover essential costs like equipment, uniforms, and participation fees for example, to help remove 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 on the list 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 been excluded from a class, sport or activity based on ability to pay, please encourage them to contact their Counselor or Program Sponsor to make a request.
