BHS purchased a ping pong table for the commons for students to use during break and lunchtime. It’s been a fantastic addition to the school environment providing a recreational activity for students to enjoy. In addition, we have two brand new tables and chairs to add to the commons to provide more space for students to gather and socialize.

The Lady Tiger basketball team traveled to Pendleton this last week to compete in the 2A State Tournament. The ladies were matched up against Oakridge on Thursday, beating them 34-23. Friday they took on Regis and won 43-21. Saturday they went into the Championship game matched up against the #1 team in league, Western Christian. The ladies battled hard, but came up short placing 2nd in the state tournament with a final score of 40-45. The Lady Tigers made history for Bandon High School earning a spot in the championship game. We are so proud of each of them and grateful to the coaches, Jordan Sammons, Daniel Senn and Kerry Twymann, as well as all the bus drivers who have spent countless hours driving them to their competitions. Congratulations, Lady Tigers!

All of our students should have signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

Just a reminder, students are not allowed to have cell phones out during school hours. We require them to be kept off and in their locker or backpack during the day. This includes breaks and at lunch. Please encourage your student to come to the office or their teachers if they have a concern or need help instead of reaching out to you via cell phone during the day. This way we can help make sure that all your student's needs are being met. We have a student phone available in the commons that is always available.

Our students and their families have raised $4,107 to help save lives!!

Just a friendly reminder.

Valley Flora wanted to alert you to a few new programs that we - and other NW farms - are spearheading in in order to make fresh, local produce more accessible to low income families in our community. We’re trying to get the word out as widely as possible. If you have a spot to hang a poster (attached below), or room for a mention in your next newsletter, that would be wonderful! We are happy to provide you with a color-printed poster, just let us know! Also, please feel free to forward this email to anyone in your networks who would benefit from knowing about these programs.

• Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB): a program that helps low-income Oregonians purchase more fruits and vegetables while supporting local, family farms. Folks with SNAP benefits can purchase one of our farm’s community supported agriculture (CSA) shares and DUFB will provide 1:1 matching funds (they pay half the cost of the CSA with SNAP and DUFB covers the other half). It's a win-win that strengthens our community by providing better access to fresh, healthy food while helping local farmers earn a living.

• CSA Sliding Scale: our farm is offering a voluntary sliding scale payment system in order to make our food more accessible to everyone in the community. It’s been a beautiful example of community - and humanity - at its best.
