Eagle Updates Newsletter – Oct 6, 2025
A Note from Mr. Burris
Dear BCS Family,
As we near the end of our first term, there’s so much to celebrate. From strong grades and meaningful friendships to unforgettable moments on the court, the field, and even the playground, we’ve witnessed the Lord’s goodness throughout our campus. We’ve also seen it in the relationships built between students, teachers, administrators, and parents. God’s grace can be seen on our campus.
Psalm 100:4 reminds us:
“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.”
This week, I encourage you to pause and count your blessings. Give thanks to the Lord for His goodness — not just in the big moments, but in the quiet, everyday ones too.
Speaking of blessings at BCS… Spirit Week is just around the corner, bringing with it Open House, the C. Woodard Invitational, Mini Cheer Camp, Homecoming, and many other opportunities to celebrate what makes BCS special.
R.C. Sproul once said,
“God doesn’t want us to just feel gratitude, but for us to show it by giving thanks to God with our lives.”
BCS hopes to be a blessing to the families it serves. Our prayer is that the blessings you experience here lead you to praise and thank God, who deserves all the glory for every good thing — especially the ones He sends through others.
So here’s a simple challenge:
How can you live out your thankfulness this week? Who can you bless, so that they too are led to give glory to God?
With a grateful heart,
Cody Burris
Interim Head of School

BCS Highlights
Members of our high school Student Council recently lent a hand at the Lake Jackson Historical Museum’s annual fundraiser! We are so proud of these students and their incredible hearts for service.
Mrs. Sandler’s 7th grade Life Science students have been exploring the parts of an animal cell, and they brought their learning to life by creating their own models! We love seeing how intricately God made His creation reflected in their work. So much creativity and hard work on display!
Operation Christmas Child
The holiday season is soon approaching, and so is the spirit of giving. BCS students will have the opportunity to participate in Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. Please pray about filling one, two, or three shoeboxes. This is not only an opportunity to share the spirit of charity, it is a great family activity as well. A box, labels, and instructions will be sent home with your child beginning October 13. Last date to turn in boxes is November 12. Please read the attached letter from Mrs. Wied for more information.
