NOW AVAILABLE - TEACHER & STAFF AMAZON WISH LISTS!

The PTA is excited to launch our new Amazon Wish List Program! In last fall’s PTA survey, many families shared that they’d love additional ways to directly support classrooms — and we heard you.

Beyond county supplies and PTA funding, teachers often need additional enrichment items. This program offers families a voluntary way to help.

Teachers and staff have created Amazon Wish Lists that are now posted on the BHES PTA website. When you purchase an item, it ships directly to the school — ensuring teachers receive exactly what they need, and families can see the tangible impact of their support.

Visit BHESPTA.com and click the header “Teacher Wish Lists”:
https://www.bhespta.com/teacher-wishlists

Keep checking back - new lists and classrooms are being added regularly! And if you don't see a teacher, feel free to reach out to them directly and encourage them to create a list of their own.

THE PTA IS HERE FOR YOU

The BHES PTA is committed to promoting an enriching and supportive climate where all members of the BHES community feel safe, seen, and respected. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee works to advance this goal through educational resources, community conversations, in-school programming, and collaboration with school and county staff. Our focus this year is the Speak Up Strategies to empower our community, students and adults alike, to be upstanders in the face of hate and bias.

The PTA's DEI Committee welcomes input from all members of our community about how we collectively work to prevent and respond to hate-bias incidents within our community. If you are interested in sharing feedback, or joining the DEI Committee, please contact DEI Committee Co-Chairs Nausheen Noor and Kathleen Foster at klubey@gmail.com
