Nurse Susie Peterson taught students about eating healthier for the holidays. They made Christmas tree appetizers for their families!
Check out this basketball drill. Apparently the superhero masks help to build automaticity with keeping your eyes up and focused on the basket while also making it difficult to watch yourself dribble. Best of luck to our MS girls this weekend at the Big Horn Tournaments!

Our HS Student Council participated in the annual state convention with over 900 students from across WY, which made it one of the largest conventions we’ve ever had. Just a few highlights:
• Jessica Mendez did a phenomenal job running for the state office position of secretary, and gave a really good speech along with a Q&A with all of the voting delegates. She wasn’t voted in, but we are super proud of her effort and courage running for office!
• Joey Chatwin received both the “Hidden Hero Award” for her exemplary efforts in leadership here at BHS, as well as one of only 15 recipients of the “All State Student Council Award” which recognizes the top student council seniors in the state. Huge accomplishment!
• Phil Olson received the Mary Harshberger Advisor of the Year Award and will be Wyoming’s nominee for the national Warren E. Shull Award. He was nominated by BHS students.
Congrats StuCo!
