What a beautiful day for a Finley Farms Hayride!
BHES students had a blast on Tuesday when Kyle Finley provided hayrides for each class. Several awesome BHES Parent's Club volunteers spent their day riding along with teachers and students. We cannot wait to do this again next year!
This week BHES and Ridgeview Baptist Church partnered together for a Trunk or Treat event at the school. Several BHES staff members, Bismarck Firefighters, and Ridgeview Baptist members gave candy to the kids in the Bismarck community.
A huge thank you to Rideview Baptist and McLanes Midwest for donating a TON of candy!
Everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather and the treats!

From Officer Damilano:
September is National Suicide Prevention Month.
The warning signs to look for include changes in behavior, especially those that are entirely new and related to a sudden loss or change, increased use of alcohol or drugs, isolating from family and friends and visiting or calling people to say goodbye.
It’s important for those struggling with thoughts of suicide to feel a sense of connection to family, friends and their community.
This connection can be strengthened by making a deliberate effort to check in with friends and family or meeting new people, also encouraging them to attend events!
We have many fun events happening at BHRA and in Vermilion County. Please reach out to your friends.
The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, along with prevention and crisis resources.
