We are so grateful to the BHHS Legacy Foundation for creating a clothing closet filled with new uniforms for our students. They generously set up a classroom at the Cartwright Family Center to display all the donated uniforms, backpacks, books, jackets, and many other items.
As you can see in the video below, we held a special ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate this wonderful new resource for our students. A huge thank you to all the representatives from the BHHS Legacy Foundation who joined us.
We'd also like to thank Assistant Superintendent of Education Services, Marco Ruiz, and Director of Safe Schools, Dr. Perez, for attending and showing their support. We appreciate everyone who came together for this event.
