Hello! It’s my pleasure to invite you to BH Theater's performance of The Addams Family. We have 5 official performances next month: 7pm shows on November 5, 6, 12, & 13, along with a 2pm matinee on Saturday November 7. The musical comedy features a cast of 20 BH students. Mr. Allured and his student/volunteer orchestra will once again supply the music, for which we are extremely grateful.
We are also pleased to invite you to our Staff Preview at 4pm on Wednesday, November 4. This free show is open to all district employees and a guest. It's usually a little rough, but it's a great opportunity for the actors to perform for an audience before the official opening and we're always very grateful to those who attend.
Thanks, hope to see you at the show!

Hello from the Learning Center! If you enjoy reading out loud, please consider reading a spooky story at our Scary Storytelling event in the Learning Center on Friday, October 30. Stories will begin approximately 1:10 so students have time to get their lunches and settle in for a read-aloud. Respond to this email or sign up in the Staff Room off the Learning Center before 10/30 if you interested.
If you would like to pick your story ahead of time, several scary stories have been bookmarked for your convenience, also in the Staff Room off the Learning Center. Bookmarked stories are different than those that were read last year, and they include a couple of Stephen King shorts. Take a look and pick one to read, or bring your own from another source.
Thanks for your support!
