On Wednesday, March 19th, students from BHS' Donald F. Harris Sr. Agri-Science Center participated in a presentation by Blue Moon Raptors. Blue Moon Raptors is a non-profit organization whose mission is to rehabilitate ill, injured, and orphaned birds of prey to return them back to their natural habitat, where they will continue to enrich the environment. This program hopes to educate, and promote the protection of wildlife and our environment for future generations. Thank you Mrs. Jarvis for setting up this amazing presentation where students were able to not only learn about different raptors but see them.

On Thursday, March 20th students inducted into the French or Spanish Honor Society at BHS visited Parkville Market to explore the numerous cultural cuisine options offered to the community. Parkville Market is the first and largest food hall in Connecticut, where patrons get the opportunity to taste flavors from around the world. Thank you to Ms. Rodriguez for organizing this wonderful trip and providing students with an opportunity to explore outside of their norm.

The Week of March 3rd through 7th, BHS students participated in Literacy Week by engaging in numerous literacy centered events. BHS was proud to host local authors Joe Young, Jonathan Garcia-Rodrigues, and Ethan Morander to speak to our high school students about their novels and the process of getting a book published. Garcia-Rodrigues and Morander are both graduates of Bloomfield High School.

BHS students also got the opportunity to return to Metacomet and Laurel to read to students. This gave our high school students the opportunity to read to students in classrooms they once sat in and give back to the community. It was an enriching experience for both our students and those students being read to.
