The BHS Fall Fair, “Let the Games Begin” was a resounding success, and great fun was had by all. The PTA committee and parents put a lot of work into the fair, creating giant sized versions of popular games like Minecraft, Twister and Life and even a giant gingerbread house for the Candyland game! The Annual Bake Off was back with a mouth- watering selection of game-themed cakes. Arima Turner ‘26 took home the “Best in Show” prize for her Mario Brothers inspired cake.
DECEMBER Students across the school participated all week in the Hour of Code. In one activity Digital Leader, Ashlyn Lee ‘20, introduced Code-a-pillars to the EYP classes and the girls were challenged to get the Code-a- pillar from point A to point B. They used their critical thinking and problem solving skills to create the necessary code.

Throughout the Holiday season, the BHS family collected food to donate to local charities, and students completed chores to raise money to purchase toys to help those in need in the local community. A small group of Year 8 students took on an extra mission to bring food and comfort to people with dementia. Over weeks of packing groceries and bake sales, they managed to raise over $2,500!
