'Tis the Season
Parents, Teachers, and Students
Welcome to December! We hope you had a delicious and restful Thanksgiving break. These last few weeks of the year will fly by as we prepare for the end of the semester, End of Course testing, and the many holiday activities and events in school and around the community. We would love to see you at our holiday events starting with our Ghost Pirate Spirit Night this Friday, December 6.
Bobcats in Action
Is it a Crime?
Officer Frazier and Mrs. Gareis put together a Crime Scene in the school library giving students the opportunity to hone observation skills, practice critical thinking, and devise a line of questioning to solve the case.
Important Events
Bobcat Library Spirit Week
November 29 through December 6.
With the generous support of The Storybook Shoppe, now located in the Tanger 2 Outlet Center, Bluffton High School Library will receive 15% of all proceeds during our Spirit Week. Help us complete our Children's Book Project that will support a variety of classroom curriculum and our Teacher Cadet program. Just remember to say "This purchase is on behalf of Bluffton High School Library"
If you prefer to donate children's picture books instead of purchasing from The Storybook Shoppe, please contact the librarian directly at karen.gareis@beaufort.k12.sc.us

Bobcat Angel Tree
Many community programs that help young children during the holidays are not available to high school age students. To support our Bobcat students and families in need we created the Bobcat Angel Tree. This tree is open to individuals, teams, clubs, you and your neighbors. All you have to do is take a bobcat off the tree and purchase the gift written on the angel.
Deliver all items, wrapped and ready to gift to our social worker Mrs. Olson or the front office by December 13. Gifts will be distributed to parents on December 18.
Thank you for being someone's angel.
