JOIN THE PTA NOMINATING COMMITTE
The PTA is looking for 3 members to serve on this year's Nominating Committee.
The Nominating Committee will work together to reach out to the BHES community to identify interested candidates to serve on the 2022-23 PTA Board (President, Vice-President, etc.) and committees.
Once candidates for board positions have been identified, the Nominating Committee will present the slate of officers to be voted on at the May PTA General Membership meeting.
If you are interested, or know of someone who might be, please email Anne Sherman at ahsherman99@gmail.com, by Friday, February 25.
HERITAGE NIGHT
Mark your calendars! The BHES Heritage Night celebration is coming soon on February 24th!!! Over 30 BHES families will host tables celebrating the rich cultural diversity of our school community!
Host tables will be set up in a circuit around the school to allow students time with each table and to avoid crowding. Please enter and exit the All Purpose Room as directed by signs, follow the circular flow of the event and remember to mask. Students will be given bags to collect individually wrapped treats from around the world. Eating will not be permitted during the event, but fun and learning will be!
BHES VARIETY SHOW
GET READY TO TAKE THE STAGE AND SHINE ON MARCH 26!
It is time to start thinking about the 2022 Bradley Hills Elementary School Variety Show!! Our talented students will take the stage on Saturday, March 26th and will be required to attend a mandatory dress rehearsal on Friday, March 25th. Both will take place in the Walt Whitman High School auditorium.
This show is one of the highlights of the school year for everyone - parents, teachers, and of course, students - and we want this year's show to be the best one yet!
Kids! Start thinking of your act!
We are looking for all types of acts - dancers, singers, musicians, martial artists, gymnasts, comedians, magicians, or other special talents. The more creative the better. We recommend group acts, although we welcome single performers, and we strongly suggest you do not do a skit. Please keep in mind that performances are limited to 2 minutes for 4th/5th graders; 1 minute 45 seconds for 2nd/3rd graders; and 1 minute 30 seconds for K/1st graders.
NOTE: All CDC and MCPS COVID guidelines must be followed. The PTA Board will make any final decisions on including an act in the show.
***** A special note for 5th graders! *****
There are two traditions that are unique to fifth graders: participating as an emcee and/or participating in the 5th grade song that closes the show. We will need 5th grade parent volunteers to make this happen. Please email us at bhesvarietyshow2022@gmail.com if you're willing to help. And watch for a 5th grade emcee/song sign up sheet in February!
Act sign ups will be coming out in February! Please don't hesitate to contact the Variety Show Committee with questions at bhesvarietyshow2022@gmail.com .
