On June 1, the BUFSD Board of Education held a special meeting at the Anthony F. Felicio Administration Center. The meeting in its entirety can be viewed here.

At the meeting, the board recognized the graduating class of UPK students from Shepherd's Gate Academy, an institution which is celebrating 15 years of success with child care and pre-kindergarten initiatives.

The students led those present at the meeting in the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by singing "America, My Country Tis of Thee" and a special performance of a song saying good-bye to pre-school as they move up to kindergarten next year. The students also took photographs with Shepherd's Gate Director Ana Torres as well as members of the Board and Central Administration.
