We hope that everyone had a great Winter break and that you are ready for the final stretch. Here is a small recap of 2022 as we welcome in 2023.
*Hall of Fame Induction – 9/13: Cory Neale (Class of 2007) was inducted into the Hall of Fame 15 years after graduating from BHS. He was recognized for his achievements in basketball. Here is his plaque located in the Hall of Fame casing located outside of the main gym.
*Spirit Week – 9/26 through 9/30: In the midst of getting excited for the Homecoming dance, we had numerous festivities. Students got to dress up as Adam Sandler in big baggy clothes, be bikers or surfers, wear class colors, and compete with the other classes. Students also went back to middle school for the day, and lastly, students and staff showed off our Hurricane pride by wearing blue and gold.
*Homecoming – 10/1: The Enchanted Forest Homecoming was a hit this year! It was filled with lights and many decorations. Seniors had their circle to honor their last homecoming. Students filled the cafeteria and danced the night away.
*Veterans Day Memorial – 11/5: To honor veterans for Veterans Day, the BCSD had an assembly dedicated to what our veterans have done for our country. Some of our students brought in veterans from their own families. These veterans were given different colored flowers and also a note thanking them for their service. Our National Junior Honor Society gave a speech as well, thanking our veterans.
*Spirit Week – 12/12 through 12/16: To kickoff the holidays, BHS had Pajamas for Cozy Monday, Dynamic Duo for Tuesday, Disney vs. Nickelodeon for Wednesday, a class competition for Throwback Thursday, and Favorite (some were ugly) Sweaters for Friday. To conclude 2022, students and staff participated in Reindeer Games.
*Holiday Concert – 12/16: Mr. Sullivan, BHS band instructor, had some of his band students demonstrate each instrument including the flute, clarinet, tenor and alto saxophone, trombone, tuba, trumpet, and percussion. After showing each instrument, the BHS band played the Ohio Theme Song. After, junior Desiree Gailes dressed up as Grandma Gales and read out of a book as the band performed along.
Once this concluded, Mrs. Cipriani instructed the choir with a storybook musical. They sang two Christmas-themed songs: “Twas the Night before Christmas” and “Nightmare before Christmas”. The band also played “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” but they needed a little bit of help, so they brought up a Brooklyn Elementary Student to be the conductor.
Last year was full of events that made it very memorable, and we can not wait to see what the rest of the school year has in store for us here at BHS.
Happy New Year, everyone!
