As part of Mindful Moments Week, students unplugged during lunch and plugged into fun with UNO, Jenga, puzzles, coloring sheets, tic-tac-toe, and more! 🧩🖍️
The laughter, friendly competition, and face-to-face conversations made for an awesome atmosphere. One student even said, “This is so fun , we should do this every day!” Sometimes the best connection happens when we disconnect.

📱 Making connections that matter 📱
Mr. Dyke and the BHS Energy Club recently collected used cell phones and partnered with @cpfsofficial to support our service members overseas.
This incredible organization recycles donated phones and uses the proceeds to provide satellite phone access for soldiers serving in remote areas of the world where their personal phones don’t work.
Because of these donations, soldiers can call home free of charge and stay connected with the people who mean the most.
We are proud of our students for turning old technology into a powerful way to support those who serve us!

BHS Circle Book Club hosted its annual Virtual Bedtime Stories event this past week, and it continues to be a staff favorite. This year was no exception, with families describing the evening as cozy and sweet. BHS staff and their families tuned in for a 30 minute live read aloud filled with laughter and bedtime fun.
A big thank you to Circle members Emily, Kalvin, Samya, Evelyn, Fatima, and Anna for sharing their voices. The biggest hit of the night was Llama Llama Red Pajama, read by 4 year Circle member and BHS senior Anna J.! 🦙❤️
Congratulations to our Circle Book Club on 25 years of reading. We are excited for their next chapter. Braves, if you are interested in joining, reach out to Mrs. Ignelzi.
