BHS Parents and Guardians,

 

I am looking for three BHS parents to join me on the principal search committee. If you are interested, please send me a letter of interest that includes information about yourself and why you would be interested in being on the committee.

 

Our work will start within the next two weeks and will include a few evenings. Once the committee is selected, we will discuss the process in more detail, review the applicants and schedule the interviews.

This week is Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week.  Each day we will share some information regarding Drug and Alcohol use.

 

·         Marijuana or "Pot" is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. Exposure to marijuana smoke has the same potential negative effects as tobacco use on a person's lungs. Specifically, marijuana hurts the lungs first line of defense against infection by killing cells that help remove dust and germs. Regular heavy marijuana use before the age of 18 while a person's brain is still developing can lower a person's IQ as much as 8 points.
