It is now the third week of the second semester, and things are slowly beginning to heat up, except the weather, of course.
With having today and tomorrow off, make sure you take a little time to catch up on some reading and movie viewing. Students, this extended weekend is also a great opportunity to get caught up on school work, so view ProgressBook and your Google Classrooms/Calendars to be where you need to be academically when we return on Thursday.
Attention all seniors, the Malley’s chocolate bar fundraiser is beginning soon, and you must sign up by this Friday, January 24. The Google Form sign-up is located in your Class of 2025 Google Classroom. Participating in this fundraiser will enable you to get a discount on your prom ticket. Do not pass up this opportunity. The money is due by February 28, so this gives you plenty of time to sell your chocolate. Prom this year will be held on Friday, May 16, at the Zoo.
Speaking of prom, remember that there is a Prom Committee meeting this Thursday at 3:05 in Mrs. Holko’s room (271).
Additionally next week, BHS students will celebrate their first spirit week of the new year in honor of Hurricane Heritage Week. Students will have an entire week dedicated to embracing their cultural background and traditions.
Here are the themes for Hurricane Heritage Spirit Week:
- Monday, January 27: “Moving Through The USA” – Join other students and staff and dress in red, white, and blue. If you do not have red, white, or blue, and have visited more places than just Ohio, then wear a shirt that you might have picked up along the way.
- Tuesday, January 28: “World-Wide Traveler” – Here is your chance to get creative. Dress up as what you think a tourist would dress like. Make it silly, but make sure to make it warm.
- Wednesday, January 29: “Lunar New Year” – Wear red (and gold) to usher in the new beginnings of the Lunar Cycle.
- Thursday, January 30: “Colors of the World Day” – Are you a Rugby fan? Have a favorite athlete or team? Dress in your player’s/team’s jersey, and bring your favorite international sport home.
- Friday, January 31: “Cultural Diversity Day” – Time to show your cultural pride! A parade will take place in the hallways, so wear the traditional attire of where your family is from or the colors of your country’s flag.
We would love to see everyone participating in Hurricane Heritage week. Embrace your culture, and be proud of it.
Here is the upcoming schedule for the rest of January:
- January 23: Prom Committee Meeting at 3:05 (Room 271)
- January 24: Malley’s Prom Fundraiser Sign-Up
- January 27-31: Hurricane Heritage Week
- January 29: Chinese New Year
- January 30: Hockey Senior Night vs. Twinsburg
Have a terrific week, Brooklyn. Make sure to stay as warm as you possibly can.
