🚨⚡️ NEW SPIRIT WEAR AVAILABLE NOW! ⚡️🚨

Thanks for your patience while we worked to make something GREAT! The BFA PTO Spirit Wear Store is officially open, featuring new designs, including our 2026–27 “Find Your Spark” shirts, and more.

These shirts are perfect for Spirit Wear Fridays! Even better, $5 from every item purchased goes directly to the PTO. The PTO puts every dollar back into supporting our students and school. Whether that means purchasing new athletic uniforms for our teams, funding programs such as Lexia, or showing appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff.

A few important things to note when ordering:
• Classroom-approved and Spirit Day-approved items are identified in the store.
• Double-check that you are ordering the correct size and selecting youth or adult.
• Everything is custom-made to order, so refunds and exchanges are not available.
• Hoodies are approved for middle school students only.
• Orders will be delivered in early September.

⏰ The store closes August 16, don’t miss out!
