Are you sick and tired of the political ads? We certainly are, and after today, we will not have to hear or see them for a while. With that stated, make sure to do your civic duty today and vote!
In BHS news, Mrs. Marsico and Mrs. Campbell’s students worked on the Food Bank, stocking items for local families in need. Their first delivery took place last week, and it was a huge success.
In similar news, BHS is hosting its annual Food and Toy Drive from November 4 through November 22. Donations include nonperishable food items and/or new toys. These donations will not only aid others in need but also the students in I.C.E. Block. Each item donated is worth a given value, and the I.C.E. Block with the most points each week will receive a prize, which includes a donut party, a pizza party, or a Canes box combo gift card.
Last Wednesday, Mrs. Sullivan’s and Mr. Rademaker’s sophomore English students went down to Playhouse Square and saw a performance of Into the Woods, a drama connecting many fairy tales such as “Jack and the Beanstalk,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Rapunzel,” “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” and “Sleeping Beauty”. This field trip had a positive reception from most students who attended. Coming up tomorrow, freshmen English students will also be attending this play.
Next Friday, sophomore students will tour the Polaris Career Center to learn about programs of interest. Polaris is a great opportunity, and many BHS students enjoy attending their school. It is highly encouraged to learn more about what you would love to do, post-graduation.
Also next week, October Students of the Month will be announced during grade-level meetings on November 13 and 15. October’s Student of the Month theme is Social Relationships, Leadership, and a Willingness to Help Peers.
Going along with this, positive student referrals are being submitted by teachers who observe students demonstrating respect, responsibility, and productivity. Check out the “Student Shout Out” bulletin board in the hallway across from the Athletic Office. Students who receive positive referrals/shoutouts are also considered for Student of the Month.
Here is the upcoming event calendar for November:
- November 5: No School (Election Day/Community Service)
- November 6: Freshman ELA Field Trip
- November 12: Return Sports Awards Slips for Fall Banquet
- November 18-22: Violence Prevention Week
- November 20: Fall Sports Awards Banquet
- November 27-December 1: Thanksgiving Break
We hope everyone has a safe and productive week. The weather forecast looks nice, so get outside and be a kid.
