[BHS Etree] ADMIN: Recent passing of BHS student, Kaleb McYates, and Alumni, John Adams

[BHS Etree]

Dear BHS Community,

We are sad to report the loss of two BHS students, one current and one 
2014 graduate.

AMPS junior Kaleb (kah-leb) McYates died suddenly on December 31 from a 
massive brain aneurysm. The AMPS community will be honoring his memory 
in some connection to his beloved homeland, Ethiopia.  AMPS student 
leadership invites all who are interested to meet on Tuesday at lunch in 
H201 to discuss what form of remembrance they want to do. They will let 
the BHS community know how to contribute if you feel so called. For 
those who want to send condolences to his family, there is also a poster 
outside of H201 to write your thoughts. His father asked us to remember 
his thoughtful and caring spirit.

The BHS community also lost 2014 graduate, John Adams, in a car 
accident. Several community members attended his memorial last Wednesday 
and our sincere condolences go out to his family and friends. I've 
attached his obituary here: 
http://www.dailyrepublic.com/obituaries/john-benjamin-calvin-adams/.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of these young men. BHS 
Counselors are available as needed for student support.
