BDC: 100% Green Energy
BDC is proud to be apart of Puget Sound Energy’s Green Power program. All of our energy comes from renewable sources. From 2020 to 2021, BDC’s electricity carbon footprint was reduced by 10,574 pounds of CO2. To put that into perspective, that’s enough renewable energy to power 1,008,250 smartphones!
Race and Social Justice at BDC
I received fantastic suggestions from you all on how we can work together as a community to make BDC actively anti-racist. I hope that this is an ongoing conversation that helps us permanently shape our programs and actions as a school. Here are some resources BDC parents and community members shared. Please feel free to reach out to me with your thoughts and ideas.
Resources for Talking To Students About Race and Social Injustice
Recommended Books at Eagle Harbor
White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin DiAngelo
How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi
Stamped (for teens) by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds
Stamped from the Beginning (for adults) by Ibram X. Kendi
So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoRecommended Dance Films:
Northwest Tap Connection: "Hell You Talmbout” By Shakiah Danielson. Northwest Tap Connection is a Race & Social Justice oriented studio connecting dance across communities. In 2016, hip-hop teacher Shakiah Danielson and NWTC responded to the deaths of unarmed black lives at the hands of police officers, using dance as passionate protest in a call to say their names, see their names, and feel their names. DONATE TO SUPPORT NWTC
"Cooped" by Jamar Roberts (dancer and choreographer in residence for the Alvin Ailey Company.) This work was inspired by the disproportionate amount of black and brown bodies being affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
Mental Health Resources
BDC Faculty Member Christina Kemp has put together a list of Mental Health Resources: therapy services as well as domestic violence, suicide, crisis, substance abuse, and grief resources. She also created a helpful guide for the trials of the current situation: Caring for ourselves and loved ones in a time of upheaval.
Bainbridge Island Psychotherapy Guild Website is a list of local therapists here on the island. A lot of therapists don’t use Psychology Today, so our local group’s website is a fantastic resource.
Bainbridge Youth Services is a non-profit on Bainbridge that is dedicated to the emotional well-being of youth. They provide professional counseling for youth 13-21, peer tutoring for grades K-12, and other service programs mostly for teens. Everything BYS offers is free to youth.
