Happy New Year to all of our families, staff and students.  We are excited that it has been a more normal year and wanted to update you on few a things we have been busy with so far this year to help assist our staff and students throughout the school.  Below is a summary of some of the initiatives we have done year to date:

• First Day of School T-Shirts for all students and staff
• Teacher appreciation activies:  New teacher breakfast, all staff welcome back lunch, fall conference dinner, candy for teacher's lounge, National Teacher Recognition Week Pies and the BVHS holiday luncheon that included special insulated mugs for staff.
• Dances:  Freshman Mixer, Homecoming, Sweetheart Dance - we provided volunteers, snacks and water. 
• Senior for Seniors Volunteer Day where we visited multiple senior living centers in the area.
• Grants:  Huddle:  $5,000, wraps for the updated weight room $5,000, Musical $5,000,Tigerettes $1,000, Robotics $1,800 and the Library $167.   We are in the process of finalizing our fall concessions grants and will make annoucements soon on upcoming grants.  Our grants are primarily funded through profits from concession sales and our Black & Gold Party. 
• Concessions - We provided concessions for most of our Fall varsity sports including Soccer, Volleyball and Football.  We are currently working concessions for Winter sports that include Wrestling along with Boys and Gifts Basketball.  Thank you to all of our volunteers that helped with concessions so far this year!
• Hospitality - provide treats for 8th grade curriculum night along with NHS ceremony.

Our PTO cannot exist with you and your support!  We help in ways that the school is not always able to fund.  To date, we have only reached 82% of our goal for PTO membership. If you are not already a member please consider joining so we can continue to provide necessary resources thoughout our school.  Click here to join now!  There are also instructions below how how to join if you have not already done so.  Also, don't forget to download the Membership Toolkit APP to have all phone numbers and address from the directory on your phone.  You will be asked to update your information each year - please take time to verify your personal information so that is correct in our directory.

Thank you in advance for your support and GO Tigers!

We are thankful for each and every one of our volunteers who make great things possible at BVHS and to make it such a special place for our students.  We love our volunteers and appreciate any amount of time you are able to give.
