Blaze Bulletin
Edition 12 Week of November 13th
Greetings...
Dear teachers/staff:
Something about November always makes me slow down a little and take time to count my blessings - maybe it's the glorious change of season or maybe it's the anticipation of Thanksgiving. Anyway, reading the messages below on United Way and Unicef, and thinking of all of the other giving and service that is happening in this school (whether it be time, skills, or money), all make me count BHS as one of my blessings.
To quote Joy Wilson from a recent United Way email, "thank you so much to the MOST GENEROUS OF HEART, TIME, and MONEY school in the state!"
Go Blaze!

PLEASE help us finish strong. We are at $8085 which is about $2000 behind last year. I totally understand if your circumstances have changed, but if you can even give 5 dollars, that will make a big difference. Thanks and I will make a last call Monday before I leave for the Chamber of Commerce. Thanks for all you give of you time, energy, passion, and love to our students every day.
