On May 3rd, 2017, students at B.A.C.C.S.S. participated in a neighbourhood clean-up.

The neighbourhood clean-up not only provides an opportunity to strengthen community relations, but instills a sense of pride and ownership in the students with regard to environmental responsibiity. Dozens of garbage bags were filled and a good time was had by all!
