Don’t let a “sold out” sign ruin your experience - or a long line! Pre-sales help us know how much food to buy and make sure everyone is able to get the yummy treats they want at the carnival. Your tokens will be pre-bagged for your pick-up upon arrival without having to wait in line to buy them.

Buy here: https://bhspta.org/spring-carnival/

Head to our carnival page to buy food, treats, drinks & game tokens!

Don’t those menu options look incredible?! The fun descriptions are even better - don’t miss out!

We’ve had a lot of people asking how they can help with the carnival & auction - well, here’s our big needs!

Sign-up to volunteer - ask family, friends with HS students, neighbors, etc. Shifts are 1-hr, sign up for as many as you’d like! Sign-up to volunteer here:

Because we can’t predict the weather, we need to be prepared. If you have a pop-up tent we can borrow for game booths, prizes & more, reach out ASAP. Thank you!

We love offering free yard games at the carnival for families and kiddos to keep entertained as well. If you have some fun games like ladder ball, giant JENGA or giant Connect 4, we’d love to borrow for the day.

Reach out to our PTA President, Patrick at [email protected] if you have any items we can borrow.

Thank you!

BHES Families - no plans for dinner tonight? No problem! Head to Mod Pizza in Lacey (near Target) for dine-in or take-out. You can even order online with the code MODGIVES25.

Don't forget to mention BHES if you order in-store so we get fundraising credit. Please note the location is different than our previous Mod pzza fundraiser.

Thanks for your support! Mod Pizza will donate 25% of the BHES sales to the PTA.

LAST CALL! If you’d like to donate toward our class auction baskets, please try to get them to the school ASAP.

We’ll be working hard this week to get them assembled and shop for any last minute items so the sooner we can get donations in, the better.

Close behind, our Top 10 include: Andrew (5th), Lucy (4th), Luke (3rd), Micheal (3rd), Mohan (3rd), Haddie (3rd), Layne (2nd), Pedro (1st) and Jared (2nd). Collectively, they’ve logged 104.4 miles!

Congrats BHES Track Stars! What an incredible accomplishment! Details on the final Track Stars pizza party of the year coming soon!

There is still time to log more laps and with a month left, we’d LOVE to get as many volunteers as possible. Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E45AFAA28A1F9C16-track #/ We’re hoping to see some of these kids crush the goal of a full marathon, 26.2 miles, during the school year.

Look at those garden club kids working away at lunch recess! A huge thank you to Roots Rock Plants for donating lots of veggie starts for the kids to fill the beds. We are so appreciative of generous small businesses that support our BHES community.

The weather interrupted our plans but we got one bed planted with big plans this week to get the rest in the ground! If you have any plant starts to donate, we'd love them! Particularly, potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, basil & cilantro.

We also really need more volunteers. Click the link below to join us at recess for Garden Club.
