Items collected will be donated to needy families. The drive runs from Monday, December 4th – Wednesday, December 20th. Items to be collected include: clean hats,
mittens/gloves, scarves and coats for men, women, children and infants. Boxes are located in the library hallway.
RBS Winter Concert
RHYTHMICS will present a Winter Concert on our school stage on
Wednesday, December 13th at 6:30 PM. Everyone is invited, and
a special invitation goes out to those we call our HEROES. This will be a fun hour of musical
entertainment, presented by our fourth grade chorus as they perform fun songs,
patriotic songs, holiday songs, and a special song called "Everyday
Heroes," dedicated to veterans and those heroes who surround us everyday. We ask those who attend to bring a toy for
TOYS FOR TOTS to add to our stage decorations. We will present our donations to the United
States Marines during the concert! (The snow date is December 14th). Meanwhile, toys can be dropped off at school
any day. Please help us meet our goal of
500 toys for TOYS FOR TOTS 2017!
BHS Key Club:
Gingerbread House Extravaganza Fundraiser
Come
celebrate the holiday season at BHS Key Club’s town-wide Gingerbread House
Extravaganza fundraiser! Design, create
and decorate your very own gingerbread house. Amidst the fun, you can help out families in
need after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico by dropping off a
much-appreciated monetary donation as the entrance fee. Help us spread happiness, and come enjoy the
holidays with your family and friends on the evening of Friday, December 15th.
