Excerpt from Hsiu-Lan Chang's thank you letter
Again, many thanks to:
Kelli McDermott who personally ran out to the supermarket at 4:45pm on 8/25 to get the bottles of water that went MIA. Jimmy Mellett and all the custodians for making the STEM Building ready and sparkling. Our BHS teachers, nurses, guidance counselors, social workers who stand ready to support our students. Mr. Priestly at the Copy Shop who printed our student and parent handouts. And last but not least Dean Poon, Mr. Meyer and Our Fantastic Army of Student + Parent Volunteers and our Simply Amazing APAC and SASA Student Leaders - Lilia Burtonpatel, Yuki Hoshi, Lily Lockwood, Gia Katwa, Rohan Chopra and Keya Waikar.
