STUDENTS

1."Halloween Costumes at BHS - Many staff members and students enjoy a bit of Halloween celebration at BHS by wearing "costumes" to school on Halloween. This tradition is entirely appropriate as long a few common sense expectations are followed... such as; masks, face paint, blood, and gore, as well as accessories representing or resembling weapons may not be worn at school. Costumes that are in poor taste or may be offensive to people based on

race, religion, or gender are not permitted at school. In general, costumes should not be cause for the disruption of classroom activities. Happy Halloween...

 

2.         The Junior class is having a school-wide clothes swap to raise money!!  Bring your old clothes and shoes to school next week and leave them in the box we’ll have set up in the lower gym.  Clothes will be really cheap but we need everyone to bring as much as they can to make it work…we’ll let you know when the swap will be…thanks!

  1. Attention students:  Monday and Tuesday, there will be no snacks at break.  We are still having trouble with people crowding, people standing in line when they aren’t buying anything, etc.  The cashiers can only wait on one person at a time!  We have brought this to your attention many times before.  Having a break with snacks is a privilege.  You are young adults and know the rules.  I realize this affects many for the actions of a few.  Hopefully you will all cooperate and we won’t have to close it down again.  Sincerely, Mrs. Hoppis
  2.  The International Frisbee Tournament is scheduled for this FRIDAY, 3-4PM at the Stadium field.  French, Japanese and Spanish clubs will have teams made up of exchange students, Nante students and members of any world language classes.  Participants should plan to bring wither a drink or snack to share with the teams.  !!!Viva la competencia!!!
