BHS would like to provide Thanksgiving food baskets to needy families, and WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are asking that if possible, students and staff bring in a food donation (listed below by grade level) and $1.00 per student/$5.00 per staff member. We will use the food items to assemble the food baskets, and use the money to purchase turkeys.

Parents-if your student(s) will be checking out early for the Homecoming Parade on Friday, 11/1/19, please complete a "Homecoming Parade Check Out" form available in the front office and turn in to the front desk no later than Thursday, 10/31. We will use the form to call to verify the parent/guardian signed the form, which will allow for a faster check-out process. Please note that your child may NOT check out to walk anywhere or to meet someone-an approved adult must pick them up if they do not drive. Thank you for helping us to make this process as smooth as possible!
