Good Morning! On the recent district needs assessment 23.7% or respondents asked for more information about helping their child avoid peer pressure, gangs and drugs. I wanted to let you know that August 31st is International Drug Overdoes Awareness Day and BBCHS will be hosting an evening program for parents. There will also be a program during the school day that some of our 8th graders will be able to attend. Here is a link to information about this day. Thanks
