The following students had their artwork displayed at the Coos Art Museum and earned grade-level prizes for their skill and creativity. Congratulations BHS Art students!!

In February we started tracking attendance across grade levels. The winning grade level will receive a reward at the end of each month. The grade level that has the best attendance between now and the end of the school year, will get an additional treat! We appreciate your commitment to being at school.

There will be a Student Voice meeting in Ms. Buckley's room at lunch on Tuesday, February 21st. Newcomers are always welcome.

Bandon High School's culinary students have been busy learning how to make healthy and nutritious meals each week. This week they tested out their new BBQ and grilled up some chicken with a side of hummus and pita bread and a side salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. So yummy!

All of our students should have recently signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

The event was such a success with almost 300 people in attendance! Thank you to all of our sponsors; Southern Coos Hospital, Southern Coos Health Foundation, Bandon Lions Club, Freedom Graphics, Bandon Rotary Club, Roger Straus, and Farm and Sea. We also want to thank all of the participants for helping make this a wonderful evening. Thank you to Nurse Devine for the hard work of planning this event.

The Character Focus for the month of February is Honesty.
