Some thoughts for the starting school year
Keep Up with What's Going on at the Hill!
Hi Bulldog Families,
Last week we had Devin Wyman, former NFL defensive lineman, came speak to our students about being true to one's self. This assembly was impactful for our students and helps the Bulldog community reach its goal for being a No Place for Hate. Please continue conversations at home about setting goals for ourselves and putting positivity out into the world. I am so proud of the Bunker Hill community's commitment to making our school a place we all want to be. Never forget that being a bulldog is more than a mascot!
As the first marking period comes to a close, make sure you have access to Genesis. Elective cycles will switch after November 6th. There are a lot of activities coming up in the next several weeks as well. Keep an out for our flyers.
This Friday is our Harvest Dance. Tickets can be purchased in school for $10. Students may wear costumes. Remember, if you are absent or suspended, you cannot attend after school events. Students will be dropped off in the back of the school, and picked up in the front of the school.
Attendance Matters - Attendance is a requirement for many events and trips at school.
See below about attire on Thursday.
Sincerely,
Ms. Egizi
