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).

With winter upon us, if you have a student who ride the bus you can track any delays or changes in route from the BPS website.
