Our Impact
BSI PTO donations pay for a wide variety of enrichments in every grade. PTO funds lower the student:teacher ratio in the lower grades and Art classrooms, and pay for specialty programs that enrich our kids’ learning from K through 8th grade.
BSI is a public school, and receives no extra funding from the DOE for being a G&T school. Without PTO funds, our budget would cover core subjects only. Your contributions are vital.
Here are some of the fantastic programs that are paid for by your PTO donations:
