Who doesn’t love Texas Roadhouse Rolls and Honey Butter! 😊

Please consider supporting the BAHS NHS by buying $5 coupons for a dozen Texas Roadhouse Rolls just in time for your holiday meals! You receive a coupon to be turned in at Fallston Texas Roadhouse anytime you want to pick up fresh baked rolls and butter. The BAHS NHS Fundraiser runs from Oct 1st to Oct 31st, and coupons will be distributed beginning of November. Funds raised are used to support families and non-profits in our community.

Students can stop by Room A 221 to place an order with Mrs. Burstein.

If you haven’t completed the ONLINE application to determine eligibility for free and reduced-cost meals, you can do so by clicking THIS LINK. A copy of the application is also attached and is required to qualify for free and reduced-cost meals. *Eligible students may also be eligible for a free device protection plan, which covers damage to devices and chargers, and free credit bearing courses at Harford Community College.* In addition, we are still required by law to notify parents and guardians when your child's food balance is getting low in MySchoolBucks. You can set your own notification directly in MySchoolBucks to be notified if your child's account balance for the cafeteria is getting low to avoid receiving communications from HCPS when your account reaches $2.60 or is below $0. This, and other important information from the Food and Nutrition office can be found throughout the school year via the "Menus" button on hcps.org.

BAHS Offices are open Monday through Friday from 7 AM until 3 PM.
