Fresh Start

By: BHS News Staff

October 22, 2024

This week starts the beginning of the second quarter, so it is indeed a fresh start for all staff and students. The second quarter is the shortest quarter of the year (40 days), so please remember to be at school on time and to bring your best effort. We will celebrate many holiday breaks and much more, so make sure to stay positive and maintain high marks in all of your classes. 

Tomorrow, the PSAT will be held, and students will receive a paper assigning them to a testing room. The morning of the PSAT, you should be here on time and have had a good breakfast, not to mention having your Chromebook fully charged. Try your best! Senior parents must submit the Google form sent through Parent Square to check what their kids are responsible for outside of school during BHS hours.

Also tomorrow, there will be an instant replay concert performed by the BHS Marching band. It will be held in the auditorium at 7:00 p.m. You are encouraged to attend and support our band as it is free and open to the public.

If you are interested in playing basketball, the boys’ open gym schedule is Monday through Thursday from 3:00-4:45, and the girls’ open gyms start at 4:00 and run until 6:00. Additionally, girls tryouts are this Friday. Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to join the basketball programs.

This coming Friday is the final football game of the season, a home contest against the Cuyahoga Heights Red Wolves. Kick-off is at 7:00. We hope you all come out and cheer on our football team, cheerleaders, band members, and Hurricettes.

The week of October 28, there will be a spirit week to celebrate Halloween. 

• Monday, October 28: Wear black and orange
• Tuesday, October 29: Dress your decade (Seniors – 2000, Juniors – 1990, Sophomores – 1980, Freshman – 1970, and Eighth Grade – 1960)
• Wednesday, October 30: Wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness 
• Thursday, October 31: Appropriate Halloween Costumes 
• Friday, November 1: Day of the Dead (Wear your flowers, skulls, and bright colors)

As Halloween is creeping up on us, we hope that everyone has some goofy/spooky costume fun.

On November 5, there will be no school due to Election Day, but there will be an opportunity to obtain community service hours. Seniors and juniors have had significant time to sign up for this opportunity, so please, sign up soon as there are only so many slots open.
