Attention 4th grade parents! When your student reaches 5th grade, they choose to participate in band or chorus. If your student is choosing band, then this is for you!
Tonight from 6pm-8pm in the high school cafeteria, The Music Shoppe will be here with a variety of band instruments available to try out. Your interested band student will be able to play each instrument in hopes of making a choice for next year. Rental arrangements can be made on the spot if you choose to do so.
This is open house style, so come visit at some point between 6 and 8. See you there.

Kindergarten students spent the morning at Kennekuk learning about animals that live in Vermilion County. We learned about families of animals including deer, wild dogs, and rodent families! We also had a scavenger hunt and picnic lunch! Thank you so much to Miss Susan for teaching us and we hope you enjoy your retirement! 🌳☀️🐿
Custodian for first shift at BHES wanted. Please direct all questions and applications to Jim Ribbe at 217-474-0482 or jribbe@bismarck.k12.il.us.
Good morning
We are so excited to start day 145
Today is Thursday April 14th-It is Look Up at the Sky, National Dolphin Day, National Gardening Day, National Pecan Day, and National Reach as High as You Can Day.
Our Character Counts pillar for the month April is responsibility. A big step to being a responsible person is to know and recognize the things that you do and the things that you don’t do, matter and can make an impact.
Reminder that we do not have school tomorrow, so we can get ready for the Easter bunny.
Lunch today is Ham and Cheese sub, carrots with dip, string cheese, banana, and milk.
Today’s fun fact is: Did you know that it takes the Moon 27.3 days to travel around the Earth. As the moon revolves around the Earth, the sun reflects off it in different ways causing the Moon to go through its phases. There are 8 total moon phases and because of the special relationship with earth, it takes 29 days for the Moon to go through all of them. Some of the easiest to recognize are the New Moon, Full Moon, Half Moon, and Crescents. A New Moon is when you cannot see the moon. Crescents are when you can only see a small sliver of the moon. The 4th graders studied about the Moon earlier this year, and can surely give you more information if you asked them.
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.

Today’s fun fact is: Did you know that on this day in 1743, Thomas Jefferson was born. Thomas Jeffereson was our third president of the United States. He is also well known for writing the Declaration of Independence and buying the Louisiana territory from France. Before becoming president, Jefferson was also the ambassador to France and the vice president under John Adams. Besides being a politician, Thomas Jefferson was also a lawyer, scientists, farmer, and astronomer. After retiring he moved to Monticello and then died on July 4th, 1826.

Today is Tuesday April 12th-It is National Colorado Day, National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, National Licorice Day, National Only Child Day, and National Education and Sharing Day.
Our Character Counts pillar for the month April is responsibility. Some great ways to be responsible is to take care of your supplies, clean up after yourself, make healthy choices, and always do your best
Lunch today is French bread boat, sweet corn, pear cup, and milk
Today’s fun fact is: Did you know that the average elementary school student needs between 9 and 11 hours of sleep every night? We often hear that people need a good 8 hours of sleep, but that’s really only for adults who are all done growing and developing. Not getting enough sleep obviously makes you more tired but can also make people cranky and clumsy. If you keep missing sleep, you will start having more trouble doing normal things throughout your day because your brain cannot concentrate on all the things your body needs. One of the biggest distractions that causes people to miss sleep is having constant access to the internet.

Today was an excellent start to our state testing window! Just a few reminders:
Attendance is super important so that we don't have to pull students out of instruction to do make-up tests.
3rd and 4th graders will test through next Monday.
Don't forget to charge those Chromebooks!
Attention 3rd and 4th grade:
State testing starts tomorrow. We are asking for a few things in order to make this a successful experience for our students and staff. Thank you, in advance, for all of your support!
Students' attention and brain power benefit from a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.
Students also need to listen to portions of the test. We have headphones, but students tend to prefer to use their own.
We will have a small snack and mint available for the students daily. Please send them with a water bottle.
Thank you so much for your partnership in your child's education!
BHCUSD is looking for a part-time tech assistant!
