Circus 1903








BSO families recently attended Circus 1903. Thanks to Mrs. Wollert for planning this exciting and unique opportunity!

Scroll down to see pictures of the event and read some of the feedback from the families who attended.





The most memorable part of the Circus 1903 experience was:

"My son absolutely loved the juggling but it was an amazing show! We had a wonderful time and really appreciate the opportunity to go. Interacting with the cast was also a really special thing." 

"We loved everything! We had different age span a 4 year old, a 12 year old, and me we all loved the show!"


"We all enjoyed the whole show. The juggler was amazing we all marveled at his ability to juggle between his legs and run in a circle."
