BHS now has a Little Free Library in front of our building on 7^th street! The main purpose is to encourage BHS students to read, but because a LFL is a “take a book, leave a book” philosophy, you might find literature from all genres and levels. Feel free to grab a good read for yourself and exchange with one you think students might find interesting.

And the beautiful box was decorated by our very own, Paul Noot (BHS Art teacher).

The Bismarck School Board wants to determine if you support the direction of the School District and what perception you have of how the district communicates with you. Please take 2 minutes to complete this survey by Sunday, March 31, 2019: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QV8GY3M. THANKS!
