Introducing our 2014~2015 BHES Yearbook Cover!

30 students from JK to Grade 8 submitted cover designs for the yearbook.   We have some very talented students! All of the contributions were wonderful and that made the decision difficult.  Students whose submissions were not selected for the cover will still be included in the yearbook in some way.  Thank you to all of the students who took the time to create a design. Congratulations to Grace, a Grade 8 student for her design that was selected as the cover.

EARTH RANGERS at BHES

Today, Earth Rangers provided a free presentation to our students in JK  to Grade 3.  They shared information about North American animals that are endangered and brought a few feathered and furry animals with them.  This is always an informative and engaging presentation for our students.

Thanks Peter!

As a random act of kindness on Monday, students in 6B recognized Peter, one of our crossing guards, for keeping our students safe when crossing the street. Peter was given signage to wear,  "Peter Rocks from your friends at BHES".
