Your 8th grade BHMS student has the opportunity to take an exciting and educational trip to Washington, D.C. with classmates this coming school year. Mr. Neuwirth and Mr. Weisenberger will be leading the group, with additional staff members attending as needed. The trip is scheduled for April 15 - 17, 2020. BHMS uses the professional travel company, Student Adventures, to plan every aspect of the trip. This is a wonderful opportunity for 8^th grade students to visit the nation's capital, and learn firsthand about the amazing historical figures, landmarks and events that make this country great. The price of $710 covers virtually everything on the trip - motor coach transportation, hotel accommodations, most meals, sightseeing admissions, and medical insurance. The trip is available next year on a first-come, first-served basis, so please watch for sign-up information in the fall if your student is interested participating. Don't want to wait until next year?  Registration is live now and available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please click here for trip itinerary and registration information.

This information is being provided now so you can encourage your student to do lawn mowing, dog walking, baby/pet sitting, yard work or other summer work to earn money toward their trip. Please refer questions about the trip to either Mr. Neuwirth or Mr. Weisenberger, who look forward to coordinating a fun and educational adventure that your student will remember for a lifetime!

Please remember that BHMS IS A PEANUT and TREE NUT RESTRICTED BUILDING, 24-HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. There are students in the building who are highly allergic to peanuts and all kinds of tree nuts, and their well-being is of concern. Students, parents/guardians or visitors should not bring items containing peanuts, tree nuts or products derived from nuts of any type into the building. This includes items given to the office staff, to teachers, for classrooms, bake sales, end-of-sports or club parties or any other occasion. Thank you so much for your consideration.
