BCHS Cookies make their way to our alumni in the service

BCHS Alumni currently on active duty serving our country in the military are in for a Veteran’s Day surprise. The BCHS Alumni Department recently sent a package of the famous Bishop Chatard cafeteria cookies to all active military addresses we have on file, as a thank you for their service to the country and the world. We hope this little bit of home will bring back great memories to our veterans whereever they are!
