When a child has to rush in the morning, it can be a stressful start to the day. Please allow us to have our students and staff at their posts on time by dropping off your child prior to 9:00. Students arriving after 9:00 may be marked tardy. Thank you!

Thanks to Mrs. Yacawych for recording and making this awesome video of our BHS kids singing their hearts out at last week's hockey game!

In case of inclement weather, please check the SPSS District's website: http://www.sheltonpublicschools.org/ for school closings and cancellations.

OLD NEWS: Link to last week's Bulldog Bulletin--January 19: https://www.smore.com/egpbv

Donate old yarn -- Mrs. Capozzi, our resident afghan-maker, is crocheting afghans for cancer patients in the hospital. If you have any yarn of significant length (not just scraps), please send it into BHS to the attention of Mrs. Capozzi so that she can incorporate the yarn into her creations. Any color or type of yarn will do. Thanks!

Increase your reading -- If you/your child is an avid reader or you are trying to raise/be one, the Huntington Branch of the Plumb Memorial Library is closing on January 29th for renovations. They are allowing patrons to check out many books at a time and keep them until April so that they do not have to pack so many books. Take advantage of this great opportunity to boost your books per year and help them out!
