#SaturdayMorningShoutOut to Mr. Vandette! A fabulous Spanish teacher!

We are so grateful for the phenomenal work he does each and every day to make learning engaging, fun, and meaningful for students. From creatively decorating his door, to bringing lessons to life with games like BINGO, to hands-on activities like making piñatas, his classroom is always full of energy, excitement, and smiles.

He also creates a classroom environment where friendly competition is built into learning and vocabulary review, motivating students to participate, challenge themselves, and grow. At the same time, he helps students develop accountability by reinforcing the importance of being prepared and arriving to class on time—skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

His passion for teaching and commitment to going the extra mile truly make a difference. Thank you for creating a space where students love learning and feel inspired every day—we are lucky to have you! 👏✨#BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Thinking about staying home? Research shows that students that miss more than 10 days a year are 20% less likely to graduate on time. By coming to school each day they aren’t sick, your student is staying on track for graduation. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

On this #SeniorSunday, let's give a shoutout to our Liberty Partnership Program participants! Seniors Bella Banach, Irelynd Henry, and Autumn Rice have been hard at work in LPP mapping out their timeline towards life post-graduation. A lot of time is sacrificed when preparing for college, especially to capitalize on all the offerings and scholarships. These three come in daily to put in the work, asking questions, building their financial literacy, organizing their internships and preparing for what's ahead. They set a great example of what it takes to shape the future! #BKP #SCCARES #everyday
