Tickets for raffle items can be purchased in advance through band members. Raffle items include an autographed Mike Napoli photograph and a signed hockey puck by Dougie Hamilton, among others.

Competency and Curriculum Awareness Night:
The administration of Belmont High School, in conjunction with the superintendent and the district's curriculum director, wish to invite the parents of our district's eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade students to a presentation about the direction that we are taking at the high school in the areas of curriculum and competency attainment. Parents of our seniors can attend if they want to, but the presentation deals mostly with our plans for next fall.
This update is intended to keep all parents informed and to solicit help in forming a strategic design committee to help us deal with some of the issues that will come up in implementing competencies at the high school. Change is indeed needed to keep up with the demands of the department of education, but more importantly, to help us meet the needs of our students who are going on to further their education, or to enter the job market.
I hope to see you all on Thursday, December 11th, at 6:30 pm in the BHS café.
