BCCA would like to thank the Hagan-Kavanagh Irish School of Dance for joining us at Anna House today. Our students spent the morning creating their own St. Patrick's Day hats and then got to finish off their day with an amazing dance performance! Wishing you St. Patrick's Day luck on finding your own Pot of Gold from all of us at Anna House.
In honor of one of BCCA's favorite author's, Dr. Seuss, the children celebrated his birthday today by reading his books, sampling green eggs and ham, and creating their own Cat in the Hat top hats!
Teaching our students to give back and show compassion to one another has always been important to all of us here at BCCA, so this Valentine's Day all our students sent handmade cards from the heart to the children of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island!
To continue the Valentine's Day celebrations the parents joined us at Anna House for a party and crafts with their children. They made collages and paintings and were able to document the festivities by taking pictures in the "selfie frame" the children made!
BCCA is proud to announce the start of our new Women's Literacy Program.

Thank you to Barnes & Noble for hosting the Anna House K-Prep students today for crafts and story time!
