Some thoughts for the starting school year
Keep Up with What's Going on at the Hill!
Hi Bulldog Families,
It was so nice to hear the halls of Bunker Hill filled with excited voices this week. The students did an outstanding job navigating the changes this year, helping one another find their classes and participating in the code of conduct assembly. We are all eager to establish our routines as we get back into the swing of things. There will be many tech issues to iron out as we transition to different platforms but we are all working together to learn and utilize them. Please continue to reach out with any questions. The district is diligently working to fix issues they are made aware of immediately
WELCOME BACK!
Sincerely,
Ms. Egizi

Important Reminder about Arrival Times
Students who walk or are driven to school are permitted entry into the building at 7:55. This is 20 minutes prior to the start of the school day.

Patriots Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance
Our motto at Bunker Hill is that being a Bulldog is more than a mascot. We believe a life's purpose is rooted in service to others. On September 11, 2001, our nation faced a terrible tragedy that changed many lives forever. Even though you weren't born yet, it's important to remember this day and honor those who were lost or affected. We can do this by learning about what happened, listening to stories from those who experienced it, and participating in moments of silence. But remembering isn't just about looking back - it's also about moving forward with kindness and compassion. We can serve others in memory of 9/11 by volunteering in our communities, helping neighbors in need, or simply being kind to those around us. By coming together to help one another, we show that hope and unity are stronger than fear and division.
Please view the story of Welles Crowther, the man in the red bandana.
