Season’s Greetings from BBUFSD

Season’s Greetings from BBUFSD

Dear Blind Brook Families and Friends,

On behalf of our entire school community, I wish you a warm and restorative holiday season and a healthy, hopeful new year. This is a joyful and spirited time in our schools, filled with music, performances, festive gatherings, and the unmistakable excitement that builds as the school year pauses for celebration and time with family. As homes are brightened with lights and anticipation fills the air, we are reminded of the simple wonder and generosity that define this season and the joy it brings to our students.

This time of year can also bring a wide range of emotions, as each of us experiences the season from our own place along life’s journey. Our hope is that we remain mindful of one another, especially those for whom the holidays may feel complicated, and that we find moments of connection, comfort, and gratitude where we can. As families gather and traditions are observed, we are reminded that the most meaningful gift we give our students is the example we set: that love is stronger than fear, and that shared light has the power to overcome even the darkest moments.

I wish you peace, reflection, and moments of joy during the days ahead. We look forward to welcoming our students back in January, ready to learn, grow, and continue building a community rooted in care, hope, and belonging.

Warm regards,

Brian J. Alm
Superintendent of Schools

School Board Recognition - October 2025

This is a time to promote awareness and understanding of the important work performed by local school boards. Public schools form the bedrock of our communities and our country. Democracy thrives with educated citizens capable of critical thinking and civil discourse. And it is our local school boards who are ultimately responsible for student success.

It takes strong schools to build a strong community, and these volunteers devote countless hours to making sure our schools are helping every child learn; they make the tough decisions and spend many hours studying education issues and regulations in order to provide the kind of leadership our community expects.

School board members give the Blind Brook community a voice in education decision-making. Even though we make a special effort to show our appreciation in October, their contribution is a year-round commitment.

The members serving our district are as follows:

Jeffrey Mensch, President

Correy Stephenson, Vice President

Danny Fung, Member

Katherine Hallissy Ayala, Member

Samantha Smith, Member

Please give special recognition to our new Student Ex-Officio Board Members:

Simon Riley, Senior

Iris Chen, Junior
