BBHHS Hosts Naturalization Ceremony for 22 New U.S. Citizens
Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School recently hosted a Naturalization Ceremony for approximately 22 individuals seeking citizenship in the United States of America. During an annual event that blends patriotism and reverence, the Naturalization Ceremony is made possible with the assistance of the Honorable Suzana K. Koch, Federal Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, who administers the oath of allegiance and shares remarks of the importance of citizenship, personal experiences, and a background of the significance of each color in the American Flag. After welcoming an audience of families of the new citizens, students from the High School, local elected leaders, and community members, High School Teacher Mr. Jonah Pichette provided historical context for the ceremony, including references to the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Victoria Keller, a student at BBHHS, also offered her own personal experiences of being a child of immigrants, during an important speech she too shared with the audience. Thank you to the members of the High School Chamber Choir and Orchestra for performing patriotic songs including the National Anthem, along with the Boy Scouts, who presented the colors. Congratulations to these 22 new citizens of the United States of America who shared in a memorable ceremony with our school family.
BBHES Recognizes PAX Leaders
At BBH Primary School, one way that students can be recognized for setting a positive example is the opportunity to earn Tootles throughout the school day. Tootles are the opposite of tattles and are granted by staff who notice students demonstrating positive behaviors such as kindness, respect, responsibility, and teamwork. The initiative is part of the school’s PAX program which seeks to promote positive behavior and good decision making. At the end of each week, all Tootles are entered into a raffle, with each winner receiving a special recognition and the opportunity to enjoy a ride down the slide! Congratulations to our most recent Tootle Raffle winners for setting a positive example and demonstrating leadership!
