This month we are focusing on gratitude. One of the ways to practice gratitude is doing something kind for someone else. At BCHS we are showing the meaning of gratitude through our generosity. This is seen throughout our school in the month of December. One BCHS tradition is the annual Santa's elves , where the school collects toys for families in need . This is followed by a community wrapping party which will take place on December 14, 2022. In December, kindergarten students from surrounding schools will be visiting the BCHS Santa's workshop where they can donate a toy, come see Santa, and visit the elves. This year BCHS will wrap up the Christmas season by celebrating our school-wide Christmas dinner on December 20, 2022.
