Many students have already connected with peers across learning communities during this week's Freshman Orientation, and <span class="" tabindex="0"><span class="">tomorrow</span></span> represents another great opportunity to connect, this time with BHS faculty and staff. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">We invite freshmen and their families to bring an item to share that serves 5-8 people. Students whose last name begins with A-K should bring a side dish, and students whose last name begins with L-Z should bring a dessert. Please enter the campus through the gates on Milvia Street. <br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><br></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;"><b>Volunteer Help:</b> Thanks so much to all of you who have offered to help tomorrow, it would be wonderful to have a few more volunteers.
