Whats new around camp!?
I will be sending this flyer each week so that you can get a recap of what's been going on at BHES and also receive information about upcoming events or dates to remember! If ever you would like something included, whether it be classroom or school information (including pictures!), please email the information to me by Wednesday of that week so that I can be sure to include it. I am happy to announce that we should tentatively have class lists available to you on Skyward on Monday the 15th! Despite the challenges we are facing with he building, I am confident we will get everything rectified, and I truly looking forward to a fabulous year working with all of you! - Michelle

Nature Center Clean Up
Over the summer our Nature Center received some TLC and it looks gorgeous! Thank you to all of our Baxter volunteers, staff members, and our Nature Center Chair, Michelle Connolly, for helping make our Nature Center beautiful again!
Nature Center Clean up
The Nature Center is an outdoor learning space that contains 20 plus pods with themes. Some of these themes include native flowers to Illinois, a butterfly garden, a sensory garden, and a cottage garden.There are a number of sitting areas within the pods for students and teachers to sit and enjoy.
Nature Center Clean Up
On the bricked classroom area there are picnic tables to enjoy your lunch or to have your students learn outside. These tables and the disposal container, as well as a compost bin were made by local Eagle Scouts (our own Ben Berg and Alex Jansuz).
GCN Training
Please keep in mind- you can complete your GCN Training Modules at any time. Christine Arndt sent information about this earlier this summer. Please contact Christine if you need your log in information: christinearndt@bighollow.us
