🌟 First Impressions: BHS Freshmen Share Their Takeaways from Day One at Bloomington High School 🌟
Kelly Scherms' World History classes were tasked with jotting down two observations made during their first day at BHS. Here are some of their reflections: -"All the teachers were hyped and greeted us with ‘good morning’." -"Teachers went out of their way to help me find my classes." -"My mom works here, making the school feel even more welcoming." -"The first class I walked into had inspiring things on the wall." -"High school is sorta fun – wasn't expecting that!" -"The staff are super welcoming right from the start." -"Every teacher I met greeted me with a warm smile." -"Bloomington High feels like a welcoming place, almost like a second home." -"The staff here are not just helpful, but genuinely kind." -"This school is easy to navigate, contrary to popular belief."
These comments reflect a successful start to the school year, with freshmen feeling welcomed and supported right from the start- way to go BHS staff for making it a positive first day! 📚✨

A round of applause for some dedicated BHS students who spent their day yesterday at the Regional Office of Education crafting a vision for BHS's future! They thought about what they want BHS to stand for and a plan for how to get there. With trainer Ami Flammini's guidance, they've set their "North Star" and are mapping out the journey to get there.
Special thanks to Mr. Moore, Mrs. Brady, Ms. Grathoff, and Miss Waddell for supporting our future leaders. We can't wait to see the positive change they'll bring to BHS and are excited for the work they will do!

🚌💺 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! 👏

🎨🔬Mrs. Dodge's AP Chemistry class got creative last week after rocking their AP exam, and to celebrate, they made tie-dye t-shirts together. 🎉👕
It was the perfect way to mix a little art with science and wrap up a fantastic year in AP Chem. Great job, everyone—you’ve earned it! 🌟🧪
