Student scientists in Mrs. Kathy Lopez's class tested out chemical reactions using eggs today. They placed eggs in vinegar. Potassium carbonate from the eggshells and the acidity of the vinegar combined and formed a chemical reaction. The egg went from having a hard shell to a soft shell. This created a new product able to bounce like a ball! Studnets were able to discuss and explain what was happening. Great job to Mrs. Lopez and her scholars!🥼🥚
We look forward to welcoming our BHS families to Open House 2024!🖤🏅🏅💛
Presenting our BHS Lumberjacks Volleyball team! Go, Lady Jacks!🏐🏐

Congratulations to Ms Olivia Kemp's 10th grade students for completing the most lessons in our IXL intervention and enrichment program!!!! They were treated to breakfast during the Academic Preparatory Period (APP) this morning. Students work in iReady(grades 6-8) or IXL(grades 9-12) each day during APP. The purpose of these programs is to provide both extra help for students who may struggle in certain areas while also offering more challenging work for our mastery students. We are excited at BHS about the benefits we are already seeing!!!
