Classes begin the first week of April.

Best of all, a portion of all sales will be donated to the BHS PTO, helping to support our school and students.

Sign up now and make this spring an enriching and fun experience for your child!

The BHS Book Fair is March 21 - 28! The schedule is attached below!

Each student will have the opportunity to browse through the books and complete a wish

list. The children will bring home their wish lists for parent review and then be able to

purchase books the following day. Please clearly indicate which books your child may

purchase or indicate a dollar amount that is not to be exceeded when the children are

making their purchases. Please review your child’s selections carefully. Returns and

exchanges will be accepted on items in new condition until fair close on Friday, March 28,

2025. The PTO will be offering each student one $5 coupon to be used towards their

purchase!

Please visit this signup genius page to sign up to volunteer. Any help is appreciated!

Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called eWallet. It’s a convenient digital

account that your child can use for shopping at our Fair. Grandparents, friends, and others

can contribute, too! If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop online at our school’s Virtual

Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over

$25. Your online orders will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn

more and get started with eWallet and online shopping.

If you prefer not to use eWallet, we will still be accepting payment by cash and check. It is

best to send in a blank check since totals may vary. Checks should be made payable to:

BHS PTO. Volunteer cashiers will be happy to fill out checks for the students and send a

receipt home.

We will be hosting a special night for parents on Thursday, March 27 during

conferences.

The BHS Dad’s Club is bringing back the Parent Basketball Tournament on Sunday, March 23rd, from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM at the Boys & Girls Club!

Cost: $10 per family (pay via Venmo @YourCT-Realtor in advance or at the door). This helps cover the facility rental—any extra funds will support our care package initiative!
