BHVA students participated in an Enrichment lesson on Friendship. We had a blast learning about empathy, active listening, healthy boundaries, qualities of a good friendship and the varying levels of relationships. We made Friend Fries to illustrate the importance of compromise and not always insisting on "having it your way." We are all looking forward to next months superhero lesson on gratitude and choice.

BHVA Enrichment Students learned about character design and development in this week's Art Lesson with Mrs. Greiss. We had a blast drafting our superheroes strengths and characteristics. Students were able to manipulate manikins and articulated figures to help inspire a striking pose for their superheroes.

Thank you to the VSP Vision Eyes of Hope Mobile Eye Care Clinic for volunteering their time and services in our district over the past two days.

Through their efforts, 67 individuals – including students, family members, and community members – received eye screenings, with 47 prescriptions for glasses provided. This generous support helps ensure our students and families have access to the resources they need to thrive.

Clear vision = brighter futures. We’re so grateful for this partnership!

Our Virtual Academy Students had a blast learning time management skills, the importance of good sleep practices and a few helpful Brain Breaks to reset on a long day. Students were able to practice some of these skills by organizing the busy day of a veterinarian, assessing priorities and scheduling them into the allotted time.

Start Your Day with Joy — Music Makes a Difference! 🎶

Did you know a simple melody can elevate your mood, reduce stress, and set a positive tone for the entire day? It’s true! Research shows that music has a powerful impact on our brains and well-being—boosting energy, enhancing focus, and soothing emotions. Let’s jam out to a “September Wake Up Songs” playlist to help start each morning on a bright note. Start the day with a beat—tune in, smile, and rise with rhythm! 🕺🎵
