It was all a dream...

Last week the Community Room Door was painted.

We recognized how difficult this time is for everyone, and we wanted to spread a positive message using the space available to us. We chose the words of the poet "Biggie" who wrote that all of his success started as a dream...where will your dreams take you?

Welcome back to school Bulldogs! It is strange times, and while we are so happy to have everyone back at Byrne, we want to make sure everyone is safe :)

That being said the community room will be open to pick up a snack during your breaks, lunch and after school. We hope to see you soon!
