Giving has always been more admired than taking. He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. BBS organized the Caring Coats Campaign where our caring BBS learners collected, packed and sent clothes to families and young children in need. 3rd graders wrote them letters filled with kindness and love. They went with 6th graders to Home of Hope Lebanon and MERATH to deliver the bags!
The BBS Anti-Cyberbullying Campaign was a huge success! Our students learned about the impact of cyberbullying. They also learned about the ways to prevent and respond to it. We held counseling sessions using real-life stories. Moreover, we did different activities to create awareness and encourage learners to be proactive in standing against cyber-bullying!
What started as a Public Communication course with Mrs. Nadine Maatouk for the Grade 12 High School program evolved into a school wide project.
Proudly presenting the Bright Bold and Stylish!

Today is the international day of persons with disabilities, and 24 BBS learners were invited to sing the Lebanese national anthem at the Presidential Palace. There, the ministry of education and higher education, in partnership with UNICEF held an official ceremony under the theme “Towards an inclusive Lebanon: Education, a right for all.” In the presence of his Excellency President General Michel Aoun and The First Lady of Lebanon Nadia Aoun, an inclusive BBS choir composed of both children with special needs and their peers sang with confidence, joy and honor. Our talented group of singers were the perfect representation of what it means to provide equal opportunities towards an inclusive Lebanon. Today was a memorable day and a historic step towards inclusion nationwide. At BBS we are proud to continue to model this value.

Despite the many efforts made in Lebanon to break the stigma of mental health, our institutions remain to have a big responsibility in raising awareness and continuing the healthy conversations to recognize symptoms and shamelessly addressing disorders. This is why Dr. Michel Nawfal, a Mental Health Professional, Medical Doctor and Clinical Psychologist, addressed BBS parents and members of its community on the topic of women’s mental health. It was a very engaging and informative session that we hope everyone enjoyed!
