October is here, the weather is beautiful, and the leaves are starting to turn. With so much to recap and look forward to, what is happening in the present during this four-day school week?
This past Friday, BHS students and staff had their first blood drive of the year, and it was a great success. A big shout-out to all of the volunteers who made this blood drive possible and for all of those who donated. Someone in need will benefit from this, and it is great to help others. Great job, BHS!
Additionally, with last week being the first week of October and the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, members of the Student Council posted numerous and awesome posters throughout the school. These posters have an emotional message attached, seeking people to place a sticker on the wall if they know anyone who suffers or is now a survivor of Breast Cancer. We love to see BHS students and staff bringing awareness about such a tragic yet hopeful topic.
Next, members of the Key Club last week did an amazing job with “Start with Hello Week,” encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones to not make anyone feel left out. Many students were consistently participating and getting involved all last week; many of them even received positive notes from their peers. Last week was very successful for many students and staff since everyone got the opportunity to expand their abilities to communicate with others and to encourage them.
Moving on, this Thursday (October 10), the College and Career Resource Fair will be held for those who still need ideas on what college or career path to choose in the very-near future. It will last from 5:00-7:00 in the high school cafeteria. Even though this fair is primarily for seniors, all underclassmen are encouraged to attend, too.
This Friday, the football team will have a home game against Trinity, and it will also be senior night for the football players, marching band, Hurricettes, and cheerleaders. The theme will be “Pink-Out” to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For Friday, show off your pink while cheering for our boys and honoring the seniors.
Finally, please ensure all assignments are completed well and turned in to have an amazing end to the first quarter, which ends on next Thursday, October 17.
Here is the upcoming event calendar:
- October 10: Parent/Teacher Conferences
- October 10: College and Career Resource Fair / Senior Parent Financial Meeting

- October 17: End of the First Quarter

Have a wonderful, short week, Brooklyn!
