Testimonials
BPA (Business Professionals of America) was the best thing I did at Burley High. As a shy sophomore I didn't know many people. BPA gave me an opportunity to interact with kids I wouldn't have normally been involved with and the trip to ORLANDO was GREAT!
BSOPPS (Burley Special Olympics Partners Program) at Burley was a great experience. I got to meet some of the most wonderful people and have fabulous experience. Thanks T.K.
TADA (Teens Against Drugs & Alchohol) was really a lot of fun this year. I felt like I was making a difference and trying to spread the word to my fellow students about the dangers of drinking and drugs. Thanks for the opportunitities. |
