March 22 through March 26 is the annual Week of Service at Berkeley High School organized by the BHS Student Leadership Team. The goals of this week are to give students awareness about causes in which they might have interest and to provide opportunities for them to take action towards those causes.

Monday - Environmental Day: Informational booths at lunch, campus and MLK park clean up after school (sign up in leadership office!). Dress in your recycled thrift store clothing and natural fibers!
