"Our PAC has helped purchase needed school supplies and other items to ensure our students can stay focused on their education and preparing to compete academically at the next level," said BDCHS parent and PAC President Martha Stein. The BDCHS Parent Advisory Council (PAC) sponsors an annual fundraising event to assist with ensuring students have the right educational tools to best prepare them for the college transition.
