Wellness Day is a dedicated time to nurture social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being

for all students. Organized by Peer Leaders, this day is designed to foster connection, self-care,

and resilience through interactive stress relief, movement-based activities, and community

building. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can

explore wellness strategies, reduce stress, and build a healthier, happier school

community—together.

The BHS Peer Leaders are excited to host Wellness Day, a special event dedicated to fostering social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being for all students. This day will feature interactive activities designed to promote stress relief, movement, self-care, and community building.

To make this day as impactful as possible, BHSPA is seeking donations to help fund activities engaging wellness experiences for our students. Your support will allow BHSPA to provide students with meaningful tools to manage stress, build resilience, and create a healthier school community.

There has been an uptick in students with phones in the hallway and some empty phone holders in classrooms. We sent out the following message over the summer and are sharing again as a reminder as we enter the last half of the school year. The Cell Phone Committee is reconvening this week as we look to codify practices into policy for the 2025-2026 handbook.

For the 2024-2025 school year, all students in all grades will be required to place their cell phones in the storage stations. Seniors are no longer exempt. We are enforcing the “bell to bell, no cell” procedures.

Due by Friday, March 7

Incoming 11th & 12th graders interested in being a Peer Leader should apply by March 7. Interviews will take place in March.
