Communities of people use the arts to express their feelings, thoughts, and emotions during times of celebration and during times of uncertainty or sorrow.
BHS Music students would like to express their gratitude and appreciation - please view our video and then use the pics here on your own social media pages and send to your loved ones in their honor with #LeanOnUs #DayofGratitude #SongsThatComfort

Google Hangout Schedule
We also hope that this schedule will bring some consistency to the students' schedules and hope to provide some structure to our students' days.
The schedule provides flexibility for the educator and the students to find the best time to meet. The teachers will post the meeting time and link to the Hangout Session in their Google Classroom.

Recording a Classroom Google Hangout Session
Teachers would like to start recording these sessions and posting them on their Google Classroom Sites. This would allow students who are not able to attend the Google Hangout to access the lecture and Q&A from the session.
Thank You!

Notes from the Athletic Director's "home office" ...
Covid-19 is consuming our daily lives so let's set aside today and focus on tomorrow.
The Tri-Valley League Athletic Director's have turned our sights on the 2020-21 academic year and more than 650 games (Bellingham plays about 800) games have already been scheduled for next year already.
Now is not the time to sit back and play video games. Your job is to take the time to eat right, sleep right, work out, review materials provided by your coaches and anything else that makes you better… because that is exactly what our opponents will be doing.
Parents ... FamilyId is set up for all three seasons next year and Unipay is online. If you have a spring athlete you can apply your spring user fee to these future seasons. Go to FamilyId.com to register. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE IS A $50 DISCOUNT AVAILABLE FOR FALL SPORTS IF REGISTERED AND PAID BY JUNE 19.
JUST A FEW MORE RANDOM THOUGHTS …
1. Now is a great time to schedule a sports physical in June, July, and August
2. Did you know that beginning next year Junior/Senior Varsity athletes can exempt themselves from their Physical Education Requirement?
YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR CAN PROVIDE THE PAPERWORK
3. Free & reduced lunch programs also provide participants free & reduced sports. Check out the department/nutrition section on bellinghamk12.org for details and how to apply
4. Are you a future captain candidate? https://nfhslearn.com/courses/captains-course
5. Please remember that FAILING GRADES, even in a Pass/Fail environment may impact your athletic eligibility
6. Looking for workout ideas? Reach out to your coaches for their ideas
7. Do you see yourself playing sports in college? Check out the NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE https://web3.ncaa.org/ecwr3/ for details
