Thank you to all who participated in be Bremerton 2023!
Approximately 200 BSD students, staff, families and community members participated in be Bremerton last Saturday making this one of our biggest be Bremerton events ever!
be Bremerton: A Day of Service is a districtwide service event to show the Bremerton community and the City of Bremerton our thanks for their tremendous support of the Bremerton School District and our students.
Volunteers (including Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler, BSD interim Superintendent Donna Colosky, and incoming Superintendent Dr. James Crawford) gathered at Evergreen Rotary Park early last Saturday morning to pick up free event t-shirts and gather supplies before heading downtown to pick up trash, pull weeds and sweep sidewalks in preparation for Bremerton's Armed Forces Day festival and parade! Afterward, lunch was provided for all be Bremerton volunteers by Seaside Church!
We invite you to watch the event slide show and view all event photos here. If you attended the event and have photos to share, please email them to Communications@BremertonSchools.org.
Join us May 13!
