Message from the PA Presidents
Greetings, BTHS community:
Many thanks to everyone joining us at the Spring Gala and Auction at the Bell House on Tuesday evening. A fine time was had by one and all amid a luau-themed event, complete with Polynesian dancers, tropical drinks, delicious food, and leis aplenty. The committee, headed up by board members Tiffany Roberts, Leslie-Ann Angus-Torres, and Samantha Abeysekera, did an awesome job, backed up by a crackerjack team of volunteers.
Join us on Wednesday, May 17, to hear the senior parents share their personal insights about the process of applying to college. The Zoom information is below.
The PA’s next meeting will be held in person at the school library on Thursday, May 25. The 2023-2024 Executive board will be elected that evening. Please consider running for our open positions as an individual candidate or a ticket. You must submit your form by midnight on Friday, May 19 (click here). No nominations will be taken from the floor. Also, at our May meeting, we will welcome guest speaker Ms. Ramona Richardson, SAPIS (Substance Abuse Prevention Intervention Specialist)/SPARK Counselor. We'll see you there!
Best wishes,
Mia Lu & Hamilton Cain

NHS Peer Tutoring Committee
The NHS Tutoring Committee is offering one-on-one tutoring, both remote and in-person, during free periods and after school this semester. If you are struggling in a particular class and feel that you would benefit from a peer tutor, please fill out the following form to be matched with an NHS tutor link here.
Library Policy Change
We are pleased to announce that we will no longer be charging late fees on overdue books! All previous fines are being deleted (from Tech and middle schools). There will still be fines on lost books, though students should talk to a librarian if a book is lost. If the fee is a hardship, we may be able to help.
