If anyone is looking to volunteer our High School Seniors could use the help!

Where are our 9th, 10th and 11th grade BHS parents? We need you to “pay it forward” and volunteer to chaperone the BHS All Night Graduation Party! Please sign up for a shift! We are still in need of 30 volunteers in order to make this years event happen! You can not volunteer when your own child graduates, but we rely on you to volunteer in advance so that when your child graduates you will be able to rest easy knowing they are safe. Please help us give these seniors a great send off! We can not do it without folks stepping up. Sign up link is below.
