Strengthening Families GED and ESL classes launched at BKS on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at BKS centers. We added these programs to meet a critical need—40% of BKS children come from families where English is not the primary language spoken at home. The Department of Education provides a teacher and all materials for the classes, while BKS provides child care staffing and food to make it easier for families to participate in the programs. These classes help put families on pathways to self-sufficiency—and engage parents in their children’s education. Yuletide Committee members and friends host pre-ball dinners that run the gamut t h an k you f or m a k in g t h e from elaborate black-tie affairs to small gatherings with order-in pizza.
