Rosa Toro: Bwc is my childrens home away from home.. Great school..... Great teachers that care for the children beyond there academics.. Safe enviroment for kids to be kids.. My introduction to bwc was first principal ms Gulardo.. beautiful person with the smarts to run the complete school with a great staff to help out.. Both my children have graduated and til this day both r still welcomed back with open arms plus the fantastic alumni program this school offers.. I made some great friends here.. My only issue is and was.. School should be from Pre-k to High school. Bc once u leave.. It is sense sad.. but birds must fly out of nest at one time or another..
