Good morning!! We are so excited to start day 4 Today is Monday August 22nd-It is National Tooth Fairy Day, National Pecan Torte Day, and National Be an Angel Day Remember that Picture Day is August 29th. Teachers will be sending home order forms with students during the first days of school. Pictures can be ordered online before and after Picture Day. The order code is 68810RF. You can go online at https://inter-state.com/FlyerEntry/68810RF to order your pictures. Students will also need to return their Technology Use Agreement forms as soon as possible Remember to give your teacher any notes about how you are getting home or leaving early to your teacher first thing in the morning. Also, make sure to give your lunch money to your teachers so they can send it to the office.

Part of that responsibility is that students need to charge their Chromebook to 100% every day and make sure they keep track of their charger. Today’s fun fact is: Did you know that the average pencil can be sharpened 17 times, write about 45,000 words, and draw a line 35 miles long before running out. Pencils can even write in space, upside down, and underwater. Before we had rubber erasers for pencils, some people used a rolled up piece of white bread. We all at BHES are so happy to see everyone come to school each day. Myself and all the teachers care about you all and want to make every day as awesome as we can. We're here to help you have fun, to learn, and to grow. We're here to help you be safe, be healthy, and be happy.

Part of that responsibility is that students need to charge their Chromebook to 100% every day and make sure they keep track of their charger. Today’s fun fact is: For a short time people were able to send kids in the mail. In 1913 the Postal Office started the parcel post service for packages over 4 pounds. Between 1913 and 1915 there are at least 7 cases where parents sent their children somewhere by mail, most often for them to visit their grandparents. Buying at stamp seemed to be cheaper than buying a train ticket. The Post Master general eventually banned being able send people in the mail.
