Getting my newsletter out on Wednesday is proving to be harder than I thought! Something about the middle of the week just doesn't line up right. Therefore, I am going to try another day and get my newsletter out on Monday. Sorry for the second switch, but this will be easier for me to keep up with and be consistent.

Hopefully you aren't too hard on yourself when something doesn't go as planned and you make necessary adjustments!

Students in the TRAILS class and GT classes constructed 'balloon floats' and participated in a parade around I.W. Evans before the Thanksgiving holiday.

Students explained the notebook, presentation, marketing and robot phases of the competition to Bonham Rotarians. They were well prepared and did an excellent job!

At the end of the day Friday, the team was in 5th place and made it to the semifinal competition on Saturday, but fell short of advancing to finals. I am very proud of the progress made by this team!

The cast and crew performed Peter and the Star Catcher at Princeton on Saturday.

Quinn Passanisi was named to the All Star Cast, Tristan Thompson was named to the Honorable Mention All Star Cast and Sydney Simpson was named to the All Star Crew.

BISD will participate in the Spirit of Giving again next year and we will give away blankets since they were a huge hit. If you are shopping and find some on clearance throughout the year and want to buy them, please do and we will use them next November!

BISD received a $500 donation over the Thanksgiving Break. Part of the money has been allocated to purchase cold weather items for students in need at BHS.
