🏃♀️🧘♂️🍎 D87's 3rd Annual Wellness Event!
This past weekend, D87 hosted its 3rd annual wellness event for staff and their families—and it was a blast! 🎉 From a 5K run/walk 🏃♂️ to a WERQ class 💃 and a peaceful yoga session, we made health and connection a priority for staff as we wind down the school year together.
Thank you to everyone who joined in on the fun and made the event amazing! Here's to finishing the school year strong—mind, body, and spirit! 💪

🚌💺 Mr. Tang's Advisory Class Leaves a Lasting Legacy!
A huge shoutout to Mr. Tang's senior advisory class at BHS! The class raised $2,000, with generous contributions from donors like the BEA and the BHS Class of 1985, to install a much-needed bus bench for the Connect Transit stop at BHS. 🌟
Their goal? To leave a permanent mark on BHS—and they absolutely succeeded! What an incredible way to give back to their school and community! 👏
