The Student Council would like to invite all BCIT performers to audition for this year’s talent show, to be held on December 15, 2023.  All proceeds from the Talent Show will be donated to this year’s state charity, Hugs for Brady, helping kids with cancer one hug at a time. Auditions will be held on December 5th  and December 7th  in the A112. All acts must have their music ready by this date! If you cannot make either of those dates, we can have individual auditions during 3A lunch, by appointment. Practice will be held on December 12th, after school. The run through will be on December 14th in the auditorium. All participants must attend the practice and the run-through.

Please sign up on the outside of A112 or outside of Mr. Wards' class D209. Please indicate if you need to ride the late bus home, so that arrangements can be made.

Attention Poetry Lovers! The time has come to begin planning for the annual Poetry Out Loud competition!  Poetry Out Loud is a national recitation contest that celebrates the power of the spoken word and a mastery of public speaking skills as students take poetry from the page to the stage! Poetry Out Loud has inspired hundreds of thousands of high school students to discover and appreciate both classic and contemporary poetry. 

If you are interested in competing in the BCIT school-wide Poetry Out Loud competition with the potential to move on to the Regional competition, please see Mrs. Pappler in room D206 for more information.  In order to participate, you must sign up with Mrs. Pappler by December 11th.

Clothing donation boxes will be placed in Cafeteria, outside the main office as well as near the Ad Art room B200. Thank you for your donations!!
