The PTO’s online spirit wear store is open NOW through this Sunday, September 13! Orders can be

New spirit wear! We have a new BFA design available this round, along with classroom-approved
sweatshirts, fleeces, Spirit Day shirts (remember, every Friday is a Spirit Wear Day!), hats, and more.

A few things to note when ordering:
 Classroom and Spirit Day approved items are noted in the store.
 Please make sure you’re ordering the correct size (youth or adult).
 Everything is custom made to order, so refunds and exchanges are not available.
 Hoodies are approved for BFA Middle School students only.
Ready to show your BFA spirit? Shop the Spirit Wear Store here!
If you have any questions, please email Anna Larson, PTO Spirit Wear Committee Chair.
