World Kindness Day is Friday, November 13th! What are some ways you show kindness to others? Let us know!
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 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13 to give us time to assemble baskets.
6th Grade: 1 can of green beans and $1.00 per student
7th Grade: 1 can of yams and $1.00 per student
8th Grade: 1 box instant mashed potatoes and $1.00 per student
9th Grade: 1 box stuffing and $1.00 per student
