WHAT HAVE YOUR DONATIONS FUNDED RECENTLY?


Your giving to BHSDG funds after-school tutoring, classroom supplies,
software, teacher professional development, technology, college-application
support, and many other activities. Without your donations, the BHS
experience would simply not be the same. Highlights of grants funded at our
September meeting include:


Special Education Classroom Chromebook Initiative. This grant partially
funded the purchase of designated Chromebooks for 10 Special Education
classrooms.


Afam Literature/ AP Patterns in Black Literature Book Club. These funds
facilitated the purchase of new works by BIPOC authors selected by students
for BHS African American Literature classes.

California Math Council North Conference Attendance. This grant covered
registration and lodging for 6 BHS teachers to attend this conference as
professional development.

Coordination of Support for Multilingual Learners. Funding for this program
provides stipends to student tutors to work with MLP students in 7th period
tutorial.

BTA’s Wellness Center Grand Opening. These funds paid the honorarium for
keynote speaker Cam’ron Moore (TV writer/producer) for the Wellness
Center’s Grand Opening.

Prom Tickets and Yearbook Subsidies. BHSDG Grants helped subsidize tickets
for prom and yearbooks to ensure that all of our students can participate
and feel connected.
