In an effort to reduce DDI referrals and spread positivity, we are excited to launch our "Bulldogs Being Kind" initiative!

Here’s how it works:

• All staff members are on the lookout to catch Bulldogs showing kindness, whether it’s through kind actions, words, or gestures.
• When a staff member notices your kindness, they will acknowledge it by telling you what you did and awarding you Kindness Points.
• Teachers will directly assign points, while other staff members will give you a Kindness Card. Write your name on the back of the card and hand it to your next-period teacher, who will reward you with Kindness Points.
• Once you’ve earned 3 Kindness Points, you’ll be entered into our Best in Show Kindness Drawing!

We’ll be giving away exciting prizes like t-shirts, jackets, BGHS swag, and gift cards to celebrate your kindness. Let’s make BGHS a place where kindness shines!

Keep being kind, Bulldogs—you could be the next Best in Show!
