BCS Blast

  • The BCS Blast is coming on Sunday, April 25, 2021!  

     

    This year the BCS Blast event has been recreated into a Road Rally!  Do you know what a Road Rally is and how it will work? Think scavenger hunt!
     
    It will be a socially distanced competition game with clues and an app, so a device will be needed to enter the Road Rally. It’s a fun activity for the family or a small group of friends. You will be given instructions to download and log into the Goosechase app, get clues for landmarks to visit or activities to do around the city, upload pics into the app, and earn points. Top points will win (gift card) prizes!
     
    You can drive through our district or walk through downtown Birmingham answering clues in the app. Clue answers might be pictures in front of a store or similar.  
    Our game app will also have many BCS Trivia questions loaded into it for a chance to gather even more points! In addition, 20 checkered flags will be placed at various clue locations for students to bring back to the school to exchange for a small prize.  As you play the game each participant will see where they stand with other competitors.  
    Non-BCS students/siblings are welcome to enter.  Parents do not need to purchase a ticket.  Continuing the tradition of past Blast events, the PTA extends complimentary entry to all new incoming 2021/2022 BCS students.  New students who wish to take advantage of this special offer must complete the Google form that was sent to them.  All paid participants as well as new incoming students are eligible for prizes.
     
    Road Rally entry may be purchased until the day of the event at  http://www.auctria.com/auction/bcsblast  YOU MUST PURCHASE YOUR ENTRY BY THURSDAY, APRIL 8TH AT 11:59 PM TO RECEIVE A FREE ROAD RALLY BLAST T-SHIRT!!!  T-shirts will NOT be available for purchase after April 8th.
     
    THIS IS OUT BIGGEST PTA FUNDRAISER OF THE YEAR!  THE DOLLARS COLLECTED FROM THIS EVENT WILL DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE BUDGET FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND ALL THE THINGS THE KIDS LOVE MOST.  
    Afterward, please join us in the school bus loop for some outdoor fun with food trucks and music. COVID safety protocols will be in place. Raffle tickets are available for purchase now on the Auctria site and will continue to be sold at a table in the bus loop at the event until 6:00 PM when 2 random winners will be selected. The first name drawn will win the grand prize of 50% of the raffle sales, and the second name drawn will win a basket filled with $100 worth of lottery tickets. Maybe you will be a lucky winner!
     
    Don't forget to visit http://www.auctria.com/auction/bcsblast again on April 21st when our annual auction opens for bidding!!  As always, we will have lots of great items to bid on, including several popular items/experiences from our teachers and administrative staff.  Our BCS Blast Auction Team has been hard at work soliciting a wide variety of gift cards, merchandise, and experiences.  You won't want to miss the opportunity to bid while supporting our BCS community!
     
    We look forward to bringing our BCS family together and hope to see you on Sunday, April 25th.

    PTSA Blast Committee Meetings 2020-2021

    The BCS Blast committee coordinates the various components of our annual School Fair, the Blast. Held in the Spring, the Blast is BCS's largest fundraiser and party of the year. Our 2021 Blast looks different from previous years and will include a Road Rally Scavenger Hunt, an online auction, food trucks and prizes. Proceeds from the Blast fund the majority of the PTSA's annual budget. 

    2020-2021 Chairs: Chair is TBD please contact our Co-Chairs Donna Kramer dkramer216@hotmail.com, Kathleen Meyers kathleen.meyers@gmail.com, Torri Calver torri.calver@yahoo.com.


    Please support the Blast in any way you can – with the current funding situation for public schools, PTSA support for our students is more important than ever! If you are interested in donating anything to the auction or know any business that would like to be involved please contact the committee chair or attend one of the meetings:

    Check the WAG for meeting dates and times.

    This great BCS tradition takes a lot of people and hours to pull it off, but if we each do just a bit, it will be a great success! Look for information from your child’s room parent on opportunities to volunteer as we get nearer to the big date, or contact Donna Kramer, Kathleen Meyers or Torri Calver to get more involved. 

    Proceeds from the Blast fund the majority of the BCS PTSA budget.
