BRHS Teacher of the Year
We are excited to celebrate the BRHS Teacher of the Year for 2023-2024, Ms. Eva Morales. Ms. Morales is in her second year at BRHS and she makes an impact on a daily basis. She works tirelessly to give her students relevant, meaningful experiences in Spanish and is an important part of our campus leadership team. More importantly, Ms. Morales builds strong relationships with students and cares for them in a way that helps them find success. We couldn't be more proud of Eva and the hard work and dedication that she devotes to BRHS.
BRISD Support Staff Member of the Year
BRHS is also home to the District Support Staff Member of the Year, Stacy Sikes. Mrs. Sikes is our campus registrar and secretary and she is fantastic at her job. She is kind to everyone, she is always willing to help, and she is the backbone of our campus. There isn't much that happens at BRHS that doesn't run through Mrs. Sikes. We are so thankful for her and she is very deserving of this honor.
It is hard to believe we are almost to the end of the year!

Benefits of Good Hygiene
Personal Hygiene refers to things we do to stay clean and take care of our body. Did you know that having good personal hygiene helps protect against illness, boosts self-confidence, improves academic performance and helps develop a good work ethic. So, what can we do to maintain good personal hygiene:
- Regular hand washing
- Practice good oral hygiene- Brush twice daily and floss
- Poor oral hygiene can lead to cardiovascular/heart issues
- Shower regularly
- Wear clean clothes every day
- Apply deodorant
Not only do we need to keep our bodies clean, we need to keep our space clean. A chaotic and/or messy space leads to less productivity due to reduced focus and increased anxiety and depression. There is a strong link between hygiene and mental health. Maintaining mental hygiene is just as important as personal hygiene.
- Satisfy basic needs: Adequate sleeping and eating.
- Have emotional intelligence- identify and interpret emotions, regulate their intensity in order to respond appropriately
- Set achievable goals
- Learn to relax, be mindful
- Be social/have a support system
- Exercise- helps with our physical body as well as aids in clearing the mind
When our mental health declines often our personal hygiene can decline as well. The same thing can be said for poor personal hygiene as it can set you up for feelings of loneliness from social isolation leading to depression and anxiety. Take care of your body and mind daily. Set reminders or a reward system and make them a daily habit.
