Which team will win the Super Bowl? Which team will collect the most canned food in our “Souper” Bowl?
The New England Patriots or The Atlanta Falcons.Bring a can of soup in to school and drop it in the team box of your choice. Whichever team’s box has the most cans of soup by February 2nd wins our “Souper” Bowl.
Our “Souper” Bowl will run for one week leading up to the big game: January 3- through February 2.
The winner of the “Souper”Bowl will be announced on February 6th, at the end of the school day.
Students are encouraged to donate—and therefore vote—more than once!
All soup that we collect will be donated to Cranford Family Care.

Our total is above and beyond what we have raised in the past. Thank you to the amazing families at BPS. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
There are some students that deserve special recognition. Three girls did an amazing job raising money for pasta for pennies!! On Saturday, January 28th, Kaylee Fitzpatrick, Ciara Lynsky, and Shea Matheson held their very own bake sale. The girls’ smiles and delicious goods helped them raise $150 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Two brothers also took it upon themselves to collect for the Society. Kiran and Ishaan Davis used their beaming personalities at Walgreens and raised $144.80. We are extremely proud of these students for taking it to the next level.
