This year, the U.S. observes Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday, April 8, corresponding with the Jewish day of remembrance, Yom HaShoah. The Holocaust Memorial Center in West Bloomfield is hosting The Kappy Family Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel Night Art & Writing Competitions, to educate students about the Holocaust, engaging them through Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel's profound stories and empowering them to move from thought to action using creative expression.

This year's art and writing competition, open for students in 7th - 12th grades, is themed "The Power of Memory." The entry deadline is April 16, with a virtual Awards Ceremony on June 16. Learn more here.

Students from the BHHS Community Service Club raised funds for children who have been abused or neglected through an “Egg My Yard” charity event that donated $2,656 to Care House.

In an effort to simplify the daily prescreen form, the option to report a student absence electronically using the form has been removed. Families should report a student absence due to illness or appointments directly to the school's attendance line.
