BHS Community Newsletter ~ March 19, 2026

Dear Families,

As we officially step into the spring season, there is a wonderful sense of momentum in our halls. From the sounds of instruments tuning up to the cheering heard from the athletic fields, our school is buzzing with life.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to our incredible PTSO for the lovely “Pi" lunch provided to our staff on Friday, March 13. While it wasn't quite Pi Day, it was a perfectly timed and much-appreciated treat that was thoroughly enjoyed by our entire team. We are so lucky to have a parent organization that consistently goes above and beyond to make our teachers feel seen and valued. Thank you for the "slice" of kindness!

Additionally, please remember that our Band Concert is tonight. Our student musicians have been practicing tirelessly to perfect their repertoire, and it promises to be an evening of great talent and hard work. We hope to see you in the audience at 7:00 PM in the Theater.

Spring sports have also officially started. It is wonderful to see our athletes out on the fields. As we all know, spring weather can be a bit unpredictable. We are hopeful that we will not have to reschedule too many contests because of the weather. For updated information, please see the daily bulletin for information and scheduling updates.

We are constantly inspired by the support our families show for our extracurricular programs. Whether you are sitting in the bleachers or the front row of a concert, your presence makes a world of difference to our students.

Warmly,

Ruth Medsker

Many thanks to our BHS families who heeded Principal Medsker's call for Kleenex donations last week. We are inching towards our goal of 100 boxes by Spring Break. If you are able to pick up a box or two the next time you are at the store, our staff and students would appreciate it.
