Staff Movember Efforts

This year several BBHHS staff members including Mr. Backo, Mr Rundo, Mr. Sam Smith, Mr. Palumbo, Mr. Clerget, Mr. Adams and Mr. Lesh have signed up to participate in the national MoVember Movement program. Movember is an annual event in November where men grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. Participants, known as "Mo Bros" and "Mo Sistas," use their mustaches to spark conversations, raise funds, and support research and programs focused on improving men's well-being. 


Our staff efforts are well underway, and the mustache’s are looking better than ever (depending on who you talk to).  Please consider donating to the BBHHS staff member with the best mustache and in support of their effort to raise funds for Men’s Mental Health!  You can donate by visiting the BBHHS MoVember Team page and clicking on your favorite mustache by following the link below!

This Week at BBHHS!

As we prepared for Thanksgiving, our school community came together for Thanksfest, a time to decompress, enjoy snacks, connect with classmates, and share gratitude with peers and staff. A heartfelt thank you to all the BBHHS families who supported this event, allowing us to take a brief pause and connect as one school.


This week, our high school students also visited BBH Elementary School as Student Ambassadors for the elementary school’s behavior reward program. They enjoyed lunch with recognized students and shared conversations about being difference-makers in their school community. Thank you to our high school students for making a positive impact on our younger Bees!


BBHHS staff members Mrs. Bridget Milano and Ms. Megan Boulton were interviewed by WEWS about our district needs closet the Colony Cupboard. This project has sought community support to provide area families in need with household items, cleaning supplies, toiletries and staple food items. Their feature will air next week and we are hopeful that the piece will bring more awareness of the availability of these items for BBHCSD families in need and also the need for co donations.


The Math Club hosted a morning coffee truck fundraiser to support their annual competitions, while the Biology Club explored science and creativity by making microbiology art plates. Using sterile techniques and five different strains of colored bacteria, students cultured plates to create original artwork. Below are some of their incredible designs!
