<div style="FONT-FAMILY:arial,sans-serif;COLOR:rgb(34,34,34);FONT-SIZE:13px"><span>On January 27 I, Brianna Hedemann, ASB Commissioner of <span>Staff</span> Relations, and fellow student leadership members are organizing an <span>appreciation</span> reception for the BHS <span>Staff</span>. It has been a very great semester and I believe all <span>staff</span> members need to be acknowledged for the outstanding job they do. As well this is an attempt to help <span>staff</span> be more connected with each other. We firmly believe that teachers that are appreciated and connected to the community are better teachers! </span></div>
