of their own to show for all the hard work
that they put into this charitable event.

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: At the
close of the First Semester the children
of BHMCS were recognized by the Mile-
stones Committee for their individual
accomplishments in the following three
categories; Academic Achievement,
Citizenship and High "Five" Personal
Best. We encourage all the students at
BHMCS to strive for excellence and we
will continue to assist your child to meet
their goals.

IMPORTANT MEETINGS: The Parent Cof-
fee Hour is an informal way to communi-

you feel would benefit BHMCS. So come
in and share a cup of "joe" and some
treats to ward of the cold (if it should
become chilly) and meet with the Admin-
istration, we love to have you.
SEASON OF LIGHT: As we draw closer
to the seasonal celebrations , stories that
illuminate the best of the human sprit

mix it up with various passages from the

traditions. We at BHMCS hope that this
season is enjoyed through the shared gift
of reading.
