<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">AND: TWO STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES
</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Having student input and perspective on our grants is an important part of our process! If you are interested in bringing us your perspective as a student, thinking about the best ways to serve and support
your fellow students, evaluating grant proposals, and acting as an ambassador to the BHS community, we’d like to hear from you. Expectations: read through the grant proposals every month and be prepared to give your feedback on them. Commitment to attend our
monthly Board meetings, and to honor our bylaws. What you get in return: the awesome experience of serving your community, service credit for classes, learning about fundraising beyond bake sales. (And frankly, something that looks awesome on your college
application.) If you are interested, please contact us at <a href="mailto:info@bhsdg.org" target="_blank">
info@bhsdg.org</a> for more information. Selection requires completing an application with Mr. V.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">REIMAGINING SPRING OPEN HOUSE:</span></b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> Attending Spring open house at your child’s elementary or middle school offers a chance to see the
work your child has been doing, and check in with the teacher. However, creating a similar experience at the high school level is quite a challenge; how do you display work in a classroom when 120 different students per day from different grade levels have
instruction in it? This past December, using a grant from BHSDG, a team of visual and performing arts instructors, in consultation with Principal Schweng, held a staff retreat to re-imagine open house as an arts showcase. Stay tuned to learn more about their
vision…..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
