If you are interested in getting involved in our PTA next year, this event provides the perfect opportunity to learn about our different roles and committees. We have so much fun together and volunteering with our PTA is extremely rewarding!

We'll provide light appetizers and wine. More details to come!

AMAZON AFFILIATE PROGRAM

BHE is a member of the Amazon Affiliate Program. Each time you shop through the BHE PTA link HERE, Amazon will give up to 8% back to BHE. The program requires participants go through the BHE PTA link. Don’t forget to bookmark it and share with family and friends.

 

CRAYOLA COLORCYCLE

Send in your old markers and ColorCycle them!
 
The BHE Green Team participates in Crayola’s marker recycling program, called ColorCycle.
 
There are collection boxes in each pod where students can place old markers that are ready to be thrown out. Any brand of marker can be turned in.
 
At the end of the year, Green Team will collect the markers and ship them back to the Crayola factory where they will be converted into clean fuel as well as compounds used for asphalt and roofing shingles.
 
By ColorCycling our old markers, we are keeping tons of plastic out of landfills. Remember, don’t trash it, ColorCycle It!
 

THE GREAT BHE CLOSET PURGE

Cleaning out closets or minimalizing? We have the perfect way to recycle used items, while also earning money for our school!
 
The BHE Green Team has partnered with The Clothes and Shoes Recycling Bin to help the environment. RECYCLE, REUSE and REPURPOSE used clothing, shoes, and textiles - in any condition.
 
Items that can be donated include:
• Clothing (shirts, pants, dresses, coats, undergarments, etc.)
• Footwear (shoes and socks)
• Accessories (hats, belts, ties, scarves)
• Handbags (purses, backpacks, wallets, luggage, briefcases)
• Linens (towels, sheets, blankets, tablecloths)
 
Thank you for supporting this fundraising and recycling initiative!
 

SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND MERCHANDISE

With the season changing, it's the perfect time to order some short-sleeve uniform shirts. BHE merchandise can be purchased through our online store HERE!

THANK YOU!

Thanks to your generous contributions to our PTA, we are able to do amazing things for our school. Let's take a look at some recent accomplishments.
