BHHS recently celebrated FFA Week. It consisted of various dress-up days such as camo day and blue and gold day. Throughout the week, there were tiny farm animals hidden all over the school that students could find in order to earn an off-campus lunch. The FFA Officers also wore their “official dress” and grilled and served the teachers and staff a pork burger lunch on Wednesday. The week ended with our annual “Drive Your Tractor to School Day!” Thank you to the FFA!
