BSU Students Cadence Grooms, Benni Knight, and Lauren Cash help promote our union! Great job girls! We handed out more than 100 interest forms!!!
"As the host of BSU, this work holds a very special place in my heart. Being able to create a space where students can celebrate their culture, share their voices, and build community is incredibly meaningful to me. Every meeting, discussion, and event reminds me why representation and connection matter so deeply. This isn’t just a club, it’s a home away from home, and I’m grateful to be part of guiding and supporting our students as they embrace their identity and empower one another."
Ms. Ward, Room 82
Meeting Time: Tuesdays at Lunch in Room 82
"BSU meets every Tuesday, and I promise you don’t want to miss out! It’s a time to connect, share your voice, and be part of something really special. Every week brings fun activities, meaningful discussions, and the chance to build friendships that lift each other up.
Come through, bring your energy, and let’s make Tuesdays a highlight of our week together. I can’t wait to see you there!"
