That is a wrap for Sister Act! The cast, crew, and pit put on a great performance, and the play was well-attended all three evenings. The BHS News Staff is proud of the time, energy, and hard work put into making this play.
There were also a few successful fundraisers during this play for the BHS Drama Club, including Krispy Kreme donuts and 50/50 raffle tickets. All money raised will go towards future productions.
Speaking of future productions, we are anxious to hear what next year’s performance will be. Stay tuned!

Next, Family Literacy Night is this Thursday, March 30, from 5:30-7:40. This year’s theme is “The Giving Tree”.
There will be a dinner, Hula Hoop Science Assembly, and Activity Stations.
Also this week is “Right to Read Week”. This week is inspired by Shel Silverstein, the author of the popular books Where the Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree. Silverstein’s works are enjoyable for young readers as well as adult readers. He is a very well-known, award-winning author as well as a singer-songwriter, cartoonist, screenwriter, and actor.
The purpose of “Right to Read Week” is to continue to encourage students to read as well as help teachers explain the importance of reading, learn different perspectives, and help students see how others think and feel.
Below is this week’s schedule.
*Monday, March 27 is “Colors” – Make yourself colorful head to toe. Go on a color scavenger hunt, write in rainbow, or make a colorful picture.
*Tuesday, March 28 is “Backwards Bill” – Be like Bill and wear your clothes backwards, read backwards, or write a poem backwards.
*Wednesday, March 29 is “Bear in There” – Dress in your favorite animal print or wear animal ears, bring your favorite animal to snuggle with while you read your favorite book, or listen to a guest reader.
*Thursday, March 30 is “The Pirate” – Argh! Dress like a pirate, wear a bandana, read about pirates, or write a pirate adventure.
*Friday, March 31 is “Rock and Roll Band” – Dress like a rockstar, wear your favorite band or music shirt, or write your own song lyrics.
Happy Reading!
