With a couple of weeks in the books, there is a lot going on and coming up here in the Brooklyn City School District.

First off, the Welcome Back to School Hurricane Community Rally will take place next Wednesday (September 13), starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Brooklyn Stadium. The rally will be full of exciting festivities involving all grade levels. 

The BHS marching band will march from the school to the stadium starting at 6:30. Following the band at 7:00, Brooklyn families will have the opportunity to watch performances by students including the Marching Band, Hurricettes, and a parade by incoming Kindergarten students. All of the high school Fall sports will be making presentations, too. Food and refreshments will also be available to enjoy. 

See the flyer below for more details.

Next, the Brooklyn Hall of Fame Class of 2023 is having an induction ceremony this Thursday (September 7) in the auditorium, beginning at 6:30 p.m. 

The BHS News Staff caught up with Hall of Fame Committee Member Mrs. Jackie Holko to get some information about the process.

“This year, there will be awards given out to six individuals and two former teams. These individuals and teams are picked if they had outstanding athleticism, performing arts, or if they were a standout person before or after they graduated. This is a fun time to recognize our alumni and their successes,” stated Mrs. Holko.

All of the information can be located under the Alumni Tab on the main website.

Finally, here is a reminder for all of the important dates that you do not want to miss.
