Committees and Chairs

PTF is made up of many Committees that work throughout the school year and beyond. Through their work, the Committees, headed by a Chair, help to raise money for PTF, support our teachers & staff, sponsor academic events for students, and so much more. PTF is always looking for volunteers - check out our volunteer page or reach out to us today

Fundraising

Chair: Ann Pitts

PTF participates in several fundraisers each year, such as poinsettia sales at Christmas and flower sales in the spring. We are always looking for new and exciting fundraising opportunities, and our Chair helps to seek out, organize, and implement these events. 

High School Liaison

Elizabeth Castillo
Greg Sephar

Our High School Liaisons play an important role to connect our high schools students' needs with the causes and events sponsored by PTF. The Liaisons work with the high school community to provide service opportunities to the students, while helping PTF fill volunteer positions. The Liaisons also help to identify areas where the high school may need support, such as fundraisers, and coordinate with the PTF to find events to fill in the gaps.

Homeroom Parent Liaison

Homeroom parents play a vital role in our elementary classrooms all year long.  From organizing parties to collecting donations for teacher gifts, and creating art pieces for the Partnership Dinner, the Liaison provides structure and guidance to help parents help our teachers. 

Math Pentathlon

Co-Chair: Rachel Moorhead

BCS participates in an annual math pentathlon tournament each spring, competing against other local schools. Working with coaches and parents, our K-7 Mathletes work and practice all year long to learn fun math games that sharpen their skills and build their confidence. Our Chairs coordinate practices, coaches, volunteers, and the big spring tournament.

Middle School Liaison

New Family Liaison

Juli Jennings

New BCS families and parents always have questions or didn't know they needed to know something until after the fact. Our New Family Liaison works with new families as a point of contact for all things BCS. Knowing how many uniforms kids really need, to what a birthday book is, our Liaison helps parents navitage through their new year at BCS and help them become well-informed and feel at ease in our community.  

PSIA

Chair (District): Open Position

Inspiring student achievement through academic competition, PSIA allows students to compete against others in the school, district, and state in different events.

Spelling Bee

BCS participates in the Scripps Spelling Bee each year. The Spelling Bee Chair and committee work to organize grade level spelling bee tests that result in a school-wide spelling bee.

The top performers receive school trophies and the winner moves on to the Texas regional bee, hopefully advancing to state and nationals.  

Staff Appreciation

Two times a year, we celebrate our teachers and staff by providing a catered luncheon. The Chair helps to organize a well-deserved special day for our staff each fall and spring.

Our Chair also organizes a week of special events each May for National Teacher Appreciation week. 

Uniform Resale

Chair: Anna Treadwell

Uniform Resale is our 2nd largest PTF fundraiser. Held twice a year, and sometimes more, we organize an event to allow parents to sell their used uniforms and BCS items that are no longer needed. This helps parents make money on unneeded items while budgeting for new uniforms. This is a very popular event and widely attended each year. 

VIP Service Needs

Chair: Rose Valladares

There is always something going on around the BCS campus and volunteers are always needed. Our VIP Service Needs Chair helps our other Chairs, as well as teachers and staff, put the call out when volunteers are needed. This makes it easy for parents to earn VIP hours and to get involved in various activities around school.

Workroom Hospitality

Chair: Taylor Brown

Young Author Contest

Chair: Chrissy Kuczynski

Each fall, our elementary students put on their imagination caps, get creative, and become young authors. They create stories, comics, and even brochures, both written and illustrated. The submissions are later judged by a panel of volunteer judges, and awards are given to the best author in each category. The Young Author Chair helps make all of this possible.
