It’s that time of year again! Please consider donating towards ALL children’s enrichment during this period of annual giving.
Dearest BHS Families,
As parents, we all want the best for our kids. In order for our students to thrive they need and deserve quality education, supported and happy teachers, and all the right classroom materials.
Principal Schmoeger and her team are committed to the offerings that make BHS a highly sought after D15 6-12th grade school. This includes our renowned International Baccalaureate MYP and DP programs, our highly-trained Restorative Justice team, and robust counselor services.
Budget cuts have hit BHS hard this year. In addition, COVID funds received in past years have been discontinued. We need your support more than ever. Please consider digging deep during this season of gratitude, harvest and joy.
For the next thirty days, you’ll hear from us once a week about some of the amazing ways in which your dollars are being used to support BHS and its core mission. We’ll also highlight those IB principles you keep hearing about and how they are being rolled out at school.
This year, we’re upping the ante on our “ask.” Our 2022 ”30 Days of Giving” goal is $49,700 (Hey, we are “K497” after all!)…
Show your support and please donate generously to keep these essential programs here to stay!
Sincerely,
Your BHS PTA Executive Board 2022-2023
