First Floor Friday Funday: A Celebration of Student Success!

At Bunche Preparatory Academy, we are committed to supporting our students in achieving their best through the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) Blueprint 2027: Challenge. Love. Prepare. This month’s First Floor Friday Funday brought the spirit of these guiding principles to life, celebrating the dedication and hard work of our youngest learners.

A Carnival of Joy and Achievement

Students in PreK through 2nd grade who met the challenge of consistent attendance and strong classroom performance were rewarded with a delightful carnival experience. The first-floor hallways were transformed into a lively celebration, featuring classic carnival games, colorful decorations, and prizes that brought smiles to every face.

From bean bag tosses to ring toss games, students had the chance to test their skills, enjoy friendly competition, and take home a variety of prizes. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement, reminding us of all the joy that comes from hard work and dedication.
