It is with great sadness that we share that our beloved therapy dog, Jack, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Jack brought comfort, joy, and unconditional love to everyone he met. Whether he was helping students through a tough day or simply brightening our hallways with his happy spirit, he made BCMS a better place.
We are incredibly grateful for the love and memories he gave us. His paw prints will forever remain in our hearts and in our school.
Run free, sweet Jack. You will always be a Trojan, you will always be loved, and you will always be part of the BCMS Family. ❤️💙🐾
Please keep Jack's family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
