Principal's Message
ELK Family,
Teacher Appreciation Week was a HUGE success thanks in large part to our Nurse, Brooke Jasa, and the Sunshine 'n' Social Committee's commitment to bring JOY to our faculty and staff. They truly went above and beyond this year to make the fabulous teachers at BHS feel special and appreciated.
Special thanks for the following sponsors for donating to BHS Teacher Appreciation Week:
Sign Gypsies - Burleson and Surrounding Areas
Qdoba
Dairy Queen
Little Caesar's Pizza
Chick-fil-a
Our Place
There are also countless parents who helped contribute time, food, drinks and door prizes that made Teacher Appreciation Week a rousing success.
And a special THANK YOU to the dedicated and hard working teachers of BHS. Working at BHS is an honor and privledge because of you!
THANK YOU!!
Go ELKS!!
