Parents: If your student needs to leave for an appointment, please call and let us know first thing in the morning. It’s much easier and quicker to get students down here if we know ahead of time and it also keeps us from having to interrupt classes due to last minute calls. You are welcome to leave it on the school voicemail if we are not here yet. It is checked daily.
Key Clubbers: Tickets are available to sell for the 72nd Annual Kiwanis Pancake and Sausage Day on Thursday, 29 September 2022. If you attended the event last year, track down Mr. Beukelman for tickets and a permission slip today! For those who didn't attend this event last year but participated in any Key Club event last school year, get your tickets on Monday, 12 September 2022. Anyone else that would like to help may track down tickets on Tuesday, 13 September 2022. Tickets are first-come, first-served. Thank you for your help!
SMILE Dentist will be here on Friday. You can register online here or pick up a form outside the office.
Juniors – If you would like to take the optional PSAT/NMSQT test on Oct. 12th, please let Mrs. Stephens know by Friday, Sept. 9th. Cost is $18. See email from Mrs. Stephens for more info.
Jostens was here Wednesday picking up orders from seniors and sophomores. Seniors will need to at least order a cap & gown to go through the graduation ceremony. You can still order through this link. The sooner you order, the better, as the price does typically go up the closer it gets to graduation due to shipping costs added. Jostens for BHRA

Scholarships
October 7th, 2022 - United States Senate Youth Program Hearst Scholarship - Two students will come to Washington, D.C. (or attend a virtual program if required during the pandemic) and learn about government from a perspective few people ever get to see. They will meet their peers from across the nation, be immersed in a premier leadership experience, and receive a $10,000 college scholarship in the name of the United States Senate. Through our partnership with you, the most outstanding young people in the country are encouraged to become leaders in government and public service.
During Washington Week the students will attend briefings and meetings with several senators, the president of the United States, a justice of the Supreme Court, Cabinet secretaries, and an ambassador to the United States, other federal agency leaders and senior members of the national media. Each speaking event includes a substantial question and answer session allowing the students direct and personal interaction with the high-level leadership. While in D.C., the students also tour national monuments, memorials and historic sites. This in-depth exposure is precisely what fuels and sustains the students’ commitment to making a difference in their country, communities and schools.
