Morning Announcements - April 22nd, 2026
Happy Earth Day! Today we encourage students to consider their daily habits and the contributions to wasting water. If you use a reusable water bottle, bring it by the Project Earth tables at lunch to enter a raffle and pick up a sticker for your water bottle. Did you know….?
* Less than 1% of the water on Earth can be used by humans.
*Nearly 75% of indoor water use occurs in the bathroom.
*Taking a 5-minute shower uses 25-50 gallons.
* Turning off the tap while brushing teeth saves 4 gallons per minute.
Thursday’s theme : Thrifting Thursday. Project Earth will have a table to collect clothing donations.
Did you know? We are considered the Waste Generation: The average American generates roughly 4.7 pounds of waste per person per day.
Do you love singing?
Come audition for A Cappella Choir, Choraleers, and show choir. Auditions will be this week, April 13-24. Worried about auditioning, join Treble Pop! Or join them all!! Don't miss out on the fun! Scan the QR code on the flyers around the school, or see Dr. Bonds-Gess for more information!
Camp Counselors Needed:
Ms. Harris and Ms. Hakkio at Westerly are looking for BHS students to volunteer as camp counselors at STEM Camp for grades 1-5. Camp will be held the last 2 weeks of June at Westerly.
This is a great opportunity to build leadership skills, your resume, volunteer hours, and share your love of science with younger students who look up to you. A lot of kids participate so a lot of HS volunteers are needed.
Email Mrs. Sutterlin or stop by Room 211 if you are interested!

The Student Council is hosting a Red Cross blood drive on Thursday, April 23. Students and staff that are 16 and older are able to donate - 16 year olds must fill out the parental consent form after signing up (a form will be sent to you the day before your donation).
