Attention BHS Students & Staff!
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the things that we have to be thankful; there is always, always something to be thankful for! BHS would like to provide Thanksgiving food baskets to needy families, and WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are asking that if possible, students and staff bring in a food donation (listed below by grade level) and $1.00 per student/$5.00 per staff member. We will use the food items to assemble the food baskets, and use the money to purchase turkeys. Donations of food items and money are completely voluntary; however, we feel that this is a great way for us to “give back” and help others! ALL FOOD/MONEY DONATIONS SHOULD BE TURNED IN TO YOUR FIRST PERIOD TEACHER (6TH GRADE-2ND PERIOD TEACHER) NO LATER THAN Wednesday, 11/16 to give us time to assemble baskets.
6th Grade: 1 box stuffing and $1.00 per student
7th Grade: 1 can of yams and $1.00 per student
8th Grade: 1 can of green beans and $1.00 per student
9th Grade: 1 box/package of cookie or brownie mix and $1.00 per student
10th Grade: 1 can of green beans and $1.00 per student
11th Grade: 1 box stuffing and $1.00 per student
12th Grade: 1 can of yams and $1.00 per student
Staff: 1 box cornbread or biscuit mix and $5.00
Thank you!
