All Athletes Please Take Notice If you play any sport at BCHS you are responsible for the uniform that is given to you. You need to keep them clean and free of tears and rips. When you turn the uniforms in to your coach they should be ready to be used for the next season. Even more important the athlete is responsible for turning in their uniforms at the end of that sports season. Golf shirts need to be turned in to the office now. All Volleyball Uniforms need to be turned in to Mr. Smith. Right now we need SOFTBALL Uniforms and Baseball uniforms that HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED IN. If your child played either of these sports this past year and they have not returned all of their uniform it needs to be done now. Turn into the office immediately. The season will be here before you know it. The uniforms are very expensive so please if any of you have any uniforms from any sport, return them. Bring in your uniforms!
CHECK OUT THE LUNCH MENU FOR THE COMING WEEK.
Students of the Month The November Students of the Month are James Corallo and Ravin White. James is a freshman at BCHS and Raven is a Junior. Ms. Smith nominated James Corallo for student of the month due to his work ethic. James always puts his best foot forward even when he is unsure of the path. He asks for clarification and never relies on excuses. In addition, he goes out of his way to help his classmates. Keep up the good work. Ms. Megan Dixon nominated Raven White for November student of the month. Raven is an asset to the US history class where she goes out of her way to participate and assist others. She is a stellar student and an example to all her classmates. Mr. Chris Yelton nominated Kallie Riley for November art student of the month. She is a great student and shows a lot of interest in creating art. The piece that is being submitted is a monochromatic POP art painting. Kallie has done a really great job on this piece. She is a pleasure to have in class and is a really kind person. I look forward to seeing what artwork she will create throughout this school year.
