Every year during our opening exercises Tim brings the first graders up on stage and interviews them and gives each of them a gift(a BFA T-shirt). This year there is only one first grader! He was very brave to come up on stage all by himself and he did a great job of answering Tim's questions and talking with him.

Another tradition that Tim initiated years ago at our opening ceremony is to talk about a famous person from the past who has left a lasting impact on our world. This year he spoke about a famous mathematician. He also incorporated our school's theme for this year - The Pursuit(taken from Isaiah 51:1) into his talk.
