Welcome to the BHS Express

A newsletter keeping you informed about Batavia High School

November 17, 2023

Hello Bulldog Families.

Nothing is more exciting for high school students than the annual Thanksgiving feast that our awesome cafeteria staff prepares! Thursday, BHS students enjoyed this treat. Take a look at some of the photos in this newsletter to check out their amazing lunch! After our lunch period, the issue became keeping everyone awake to finish our day!

As a quick reminder, school will be in session next week on Monday, November 20, 2023 and Tuesday, November 21, 2023. There will be no school on Wednesday, November 22, 2023-Friday, November 24, 2023. Students’ first day back from Thanksgiving break will be Monday, November 27, 2023. There will not be another edition of The BHS Express until Friday, December 1, 2023. Please make sure you’ve noted the “upcoming important dates” section below to stay informed.

Our high school PTO is still running the Texas Roadhouse Gift Card Sale until Friday, December 1, 2023. The Thanksgiving break is a good opportunity for students to ask friends and relatives if they would like to purchase one. These gift cards are perfect for gift giving!

We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving break and has a chance to enjoy time with friends and family.

In service to our Bulldogs.
