Rain, rain, go away! It is time for sunshine, warm weather, the end of the school year, and of course, Summer vacation.
First, last Friday, the Brooklyn Jazz Ensemble and the Singing Storm performed An Evening With concert. In addition to the two musical groups, National Art Honor Society members created many beautiful paintings for the audience to view before, during, and after the concert. Simply, it was a fun night for BHS students to show off their talents.
Next order of business, as we bid Adieu to the Class of 2025, Mrs. Bader and the Student Council have been making something special for the seniors, one final spirit week. It begins tomorrow, and the details are located on the flyer below.
Additionally, yesterday marked the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week, and the News Group would like to take some time to thank a teacher who has been influential to them throughout their high school careers.
*Maddy: “One teacher who has always been there and inspired me throughout high school is Mrs. Chrzan. I had her in my sophomore year for Biology, and to this day, it was one of my favorite classes. I love the way she taught and how she operated the classroom. I am now a teacher’s aide for her and love it so much! She deserves all of the appreciation.”
*Ben: “One teacher who inspired me has to be Mrs. Sullivan, just by the way she teaches and operates her classroom. It’s inviting and helps me work better. Not a lot of English teachers have made writing feel easy, but she somehow has.”
*Caydin: “A teacher who has always been an inspiration to me is Mr. Roegiers. When I had his class junior year, it was a small class, but he managed to make it fun, even though there were only four students in it. He is a funny person, and I still pop in occasionally to chat with him.”
