bhepta.membershiptoolkit.com Thank you so much for continuing to support our fundraisers and staff appreciation endeavors! Let's take a look at what we accomplished last month and future PTA initiatives.

HELP US STOCK THE STAFF WORKROOM!

Our PTA Staff Appreciation Committee has collected hundreds of individually-wrapped snacks and drinks for our hard-working staff through your kind donations to Stock the Staff Workroom. Our goal is to stock the workroom each Friday.

We are always in need of drinks and snacks - specifically 12-packs of sodas/sparking water (Coke and Diet Coke are Staff favorites) and individually-wrapped snacks. Great options can be found at Costco, Sam's Club and Amazon.

Please drop-off or ship directly to the homes of our Staff Appreciation Chair, Meredith Jenkinson, at 250 River Oak Drive in Grassy Creek or Kara Pressley at 323 Bridgetown Pass in Hibben. Contact Meredith at [email protected] with questions.

IT'S A HAPPY DAY FOR COACH J!! 🤩

Our PTA provides mini-grants to help fund special requests from teachers to improve their classrooms or fund a special project. This month, BHE PTA replaced the 16 YEAR-OLD PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM that Coach J uses during PE class. It was time to ditch the old system held together with rubber bands in favor of a brand new sound system to keep the tunes playing during capture the flag, human bowling, and all of the team building exercises taking place in PE. Coach J is pumped about the new equipment!

Our Staff was treated to a delicious luncheon today from Verde! BHE PTA loves being able to spoil our well-deserved Staff with treats such as this - thanks to your generous membership donations and involvement. We appreciate our Staff and our PTA families!!
