Tony Award winning playwright, poet, and author Lemon Andersen visited BHS on Wednesday to speak with the High School English honors students from both THS and BHS. He discussed the writing process and offered a Q and A. This was a great opportunity for our HS English Honors students!
Happy February!
Our character trait for February is JOYFULNESS.
Joyfulness is maintaining a good attitude, even when faced with unpleasant situations.
Ways to put joyfulness into action:
Look for good in all things
Cheerfully praise others instead of blaming
Do not allow my emotions to rule my mind
Smile and speak kindly to others

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, 11/17 to give us time to assemble baskets.
